Hmmm, did you see http://www.zenoss.com/product/case-studies/case-study-rackspace/ ?
I'm not sure anyone from rackspace can comment or even reads this forum, but it seems you can get large device numbers monitored with Zenoss. I expect it's a lot to do with tuning, and perhaps multiple data collectors (which isn't simple with Core). There was a thread about the size of Core installs and the number of devices monitored, but I'm darned if I can find it now... I think with 500 windows devices using WMI, you're either going to need a long cycle time, a really powerful box with 32-64GB RAM and multiple local collectors, or you'll need to work out (and this isn't easy, or well explained, but there are some pointers on the Wiki) how to get distributed collectors working with Core. Or I'm totally wrong. I don't monitor that many devices with Zenoss as we're very slowly migrating to it. We've got 57 devices, about 30 of which are wireless access points. Finally, if you want a largish install to go easily, I think you'll need to get some professional help. That might be a consultant, or Zenoss Enterprise of some flavor. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University shoa wrote, On 12/11/2008 1:30 PM: > Sorry for the duplicate subject, it looks like many have dealt with it > unsuccessfully in the past... > > I am just getting too frustrated, I have made multiple hardware improvements > and applied every new release, including 2.3, but I can't get Zenoss up and > running, without daemons crashing and UI coming to an unworkable halt... > Never mind having a restful night. > > The Zenoss idea is the best I have seen, but it just doesn't work. > > > > > -------------------- m2f -------------------- > > Read this topic online here: > http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=29011#29011 > > -------------------- m2f -------------------- > > > > _______________________________________________ > zenoss-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
