I've been doing it for over a year with 4 data collectors rsyncing back to a central host (monitoring a total of 2000+ devices). Just give careful thought to your tree structure and you should be ok. Here's how mine is set up --
+ tn ++ schools +++ east (data collector 1) +++ middle (data collector 2) +++ west (data collector 3) + Corp (data collector 4) The rsync command I use to send the rrd files back to the central host is -- /usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete -W -e /usr/bin/ssh /usr/local/smokeping/var/tn/schools/east central-host:"/usr/local/smokeping/var/tn/schools" Of course I have all the appropriate keys set up beforehand. You'll still need to install rrdtool on your central host so that it can generate the graphs, etc...
