hi, i'm monitoring ifInOctets/ifOutOctets on ~120 ethernet switches, with a total of ~11,000 ethernet ports on them. my rrdtool data store is about 1.2 Gb now; i've been running for about six months.
when i pull up a Web page for a device, the browser starts drawing the Web page ... at a pace which i would subjectively describe as slow but methodical ... about 4-8 seconds per graph ... but quits after about 50 or so graphs, i.e. after about five minutes or so. mrtg-2.10.13 rrdtool-1.0.46 apache-1.3.28 suse-9.0 The box is some flavor of Dell, with dual 1.4GHz PIII, 2GB of ram, 5 18GB Ultra160 SCSI drives in a hardware RAID5. the box isn't doing anything else significant, other than this application. if i wanted apache/mrtg/rrdtool to draw ~240 graphs in less than five minutes, what kind of hardware would i need to have? i realize that the answer is probably "buy the biggest box you can afford and see" ... but my boss prefers slightly better defined answers than this :) is anyone running a box which can draw ~240 graphs in less than five minutes? and if so, would you be willing to share with me the specs of the hardware? --sk Stuart Kendrick FHCRC -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
