Sad thing is I agree. They seem to be moving too fast. The base integrity needs to be improved heavily before adding new features and enhancements.
The biggest issue for me is becoming speed. I have a Dell R900 with 4 Quad-Core CPUs, 32Gb Ram, 15K SAS drives in RAID10 and the damn pages still take a few seconds to load with only myself using the system. If collection is running then forget it I'm looking at 5-20 seconds for a single page to load. In desperation I ran crossover Gig and offloaded mysql to another machine with similar specs but only 16gb ram. Still no speed up. I suspect database design and coding mistakes that beginners would make. I'd hate to see the BigO stats for some of these DB calls. Feels a lot like O(n^n) to me if not worse. All I know is it scales like Sh!t and after a few devices things REALLY grind down. They claim customers running well over 1600-2000 devices with no issues. Well if thats even true then they need to share this special configuration with us. Now if they still want to throw the same old line about faster hardware then we have issues because I have at my disposal some of the fastest hardware currently out. I have large blade servers that trump these R900s but a mainframe grade system shouldnt be needed to watch 500 devices!!! Time for a Fork anyone? I'm dead serious. More and more I think this kind of project needs a real team with some real world non $$$ motivated development. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19091#19091 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
