Hi, We are getting ready to install a production level of MRTG and we are getting ready to consider the machine we'll run this on and the size of memory we need and the disk space.
We currently have mrtg setup on an intel machine running on BSD Unix. We are currently monitoring 4 heavily loaded core routers, that have about 200 class B subnets among them, as well as our Internet Edge Routers and a couple of remote routers with only a couple of interfaces on each. Our network has around 20,000 nodes on it and we have 2 different 200 Gig feeds to two different ISPs, which if we didn't use traffic shaping would be overloaded. Each subnet also would have at least one, sometimes more aggregator switches which are located throughout the campus in the individual buildings to feed the occupants of those buildings. Usually there are one to many edge user switches for each floor that feeds into those aggregator switches. Our current configuration is useful to us, but we haven't ruled out someday expanding to also bring those aggregator switches into the mix, if not permanently then on a temporary basis to study traffic flows and remedy problems that may come on a per subnet basis. I'd like to hear of people's environment, the numbers and types of switches and routers they monitor and what they run MRTG on, the type of machine, the size of memory and of disk space they have alloted to the application. Also if you monitor your core, or further out, and reasons why you have or have not.
