Nagios monitoring system

[derfderfley]

Anyone got any idea of hardware requirements for a large scale Nagios install? by large I'm talking around 1500 hosts and 6-7000 services.

I have a feeling disk performance is going to be key as it's running centreon as well. Probably going to back off the amount of data stored in the database to a minimum 30 day'ish retention, and increase the retention of the RRD files to 360 days. Hopefully that should stop the database growing too big and causing too much disk thrash.

I've had a look through the large environment documentation a couple of times, and the only trouble is it is all a little too theoretical for my liking. Hence my original question about anyone having real world experience, and thanks for the replies so far

do you need HA? secondary pollers? clustered mysql etc - obviously your resilience is limited if you putting this on one server

Well that's the other issue, and budget will bite on that count.
