It's really a question of how deep the polling of the 1000 devices
goes in addition to the 5000 pings, and all the variables that go into
building a server (CPUs/RAM/drives/etc). Zenoss provides an appliance
for 1000 devices, you can see the specs here:

There have been previous threads related to scalability with reports
of thousands of devices, I'd be curious to hear about other people's
installation sizes on 1 box as well. The largest deployment I've
heard of is 80,000 devices, but that's not a single box. Try out the
2.2 Beta, we've put a lot of work into scalability, so let us know .
As far as bulk loading, here is a contributed script from jshank that
adds non-SNMP information:

I have been looking into some monitoring solutions, I like the look
of Zenoss, but am wondering if it will work for my needs.
Everything I read talks about using Zenoss for 10-1000 devices.
I need to monitor approximately 6000 devices. I really only need
'ping' type monitoring on about 5000 of them that are running
Windows XP. The other 1000 are running 2003 Server R2 on Dell
servers and I could see a need to monitor more in depth information.
These devices are spread across approximately 300 locations which
are connected via a private WAN. The connections are about 400 Kbs
to the locations.
Would a single server be able to handle this kind of load? Is SNMP
the only way to populate devices aside from doing it in a manual
fashion? If I have another product with a database of all known
devices, could I use that data to populate the list of manageable
items?
Any info would be appreciated.
Matt
