Hi Tobi, Just an idea for tracking how smokeping is performing could you get smokeping to graph the time each probe takes to run. That way you should get a good indication if you are pushing a single probe to hard.
We have does some basic testing our setup is with 130 groups and around 950 devices with the following results Setup: 20 ping every 5 mins 1 probe Result: the machine struggled to finish 1 full probe cycle under 300 seconds Setup 20 pings every 5 mins 1 probe per group (130 probes in total) Result: waitio time hit 100% and eventually the box crashed Setup 10 pings every 5 mins 1 probe per group (130 probes in total) Result: waitio time hit 100% and eventually the box crashed but took longer than above Setup 10 pings every 5 mins 10 probes split across the 130 groups Result: stable but not sure how much overhead we have (see above idea for tracking) We are hoping to push the setup up to 2000+ devices monitored once we get to that I'll post back some additional results.
