Rune, You didn't mention some important bits of imformation, most significantly what version of Mon, Mon::Client and mon.cgi you are using. There have been significant protocol changes in various versions. Speed problems that occurred with 0.99.2 are pretty much gone with 1.2.0 for example. Also what OS are you running on?
I'm using mon with well over 100 hostgroups without any performance problems, with mon.cgi rendering a full page in under a second typically. I can't see how the performance would fail to scale to 600. Off the top of my head I'm guessing that Storable would actually increase the overhead in the mon server & cgi, as the data still has to be transformed into the sharable form and then re-parsed. -David On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 4:09 AM, Rune Kristian Viken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm using mon to monitor > 600 hostgroups, with an average of 8 or so > services each.
