Hi, I like it when people periodically post numbers and architecture summaries, I am guessing with the distributed frameworks out now for Nagios this thread might be seeing bigger numbers than past threads have.
With our custom-built distributed Nagios-based monitoring system, we are currently monitoring 18000+ hosts every 5 minutes and 100k+ active services (plenty of passive services in addition to the actives) every 5 mins as well. We collect performance data from every check as well and pass that on to a highly distributed and scalabe time-series data warehouse another team in our organization has built (which is why we have the 5 min interval requirement) We also do trap ingest using SNMPTT with a few custom mods, but not going to include those numbers as they never have required the optimizations the polling has required. This isn't a monolithic instance, we have 6 projects using instances of our distributed Nagios-based software, called Racon (soon my manager will give our team to package it as open source - so I hear at least). We built it on core Nagios with a custom database layer based on a very very early version of Merlin's database abstraction layer (thank you Andreas!) - we have a custom client/server network-based notification framework in use (we will release that as well) along with a custom NEB/perl based client-server framework (also releasable, just need time scheduled) for sending and processing performance data - the performance and notification framework are both horizontally scalabe and network fault tolerant. What kinds of numbers of hosts and services are you all monitoring? Which add-ons / distributed frameworks are you using? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
