[mrtg] Re: Number of SNMP elements per MRTG Box

[Bryant Loftin]

Hi Gene,
Using old style mrtg (non rdd) on win2k / P3-1.2Ghz I was polling:
twelve 26 port switches , ~312 ports and it was taking a little under two
minutes.

I changes over to rrd and now the same sample is only taking around 35
seconds.

Between the before mentioned polling, MOM, SQL2k and polling other devices
(over 3k in total) the box was very busy; like a good server should be. I
converted to RRD and now you can barely feel the load.  I highly recommend
using the RRD method, regardless I think you will be OK on an average box;
P3-500 polling 500 objects total with the native MRTG .LOG method.

Ok,

Here is a loaded question.

Approximately how many device can MRTG poll during 5 minutes if all the
devices are SNMP.

I have a network with over 500 serial interfaces (mixture DS-3, T-1, and
DS-0).  I am trying to determine I need one or many machines to poll the
network.

Thanks
