[mrtg] Re: provisioning question for a new MRTG server

[Jason Frisvold]

Hrm...  I'm running about 8300 targets here with minimal problems.  35
daemons total.  (Broken down by oid)

P3-733 Dual processor machine, 512 Meg RAM, Linux 6.2 (soon to be 7.3)

I'm glad I could help.

I would really like to hear from someone who is doing, or at
least attempted to do 10,000+ five minute targets on a recent,
multi-proc x86 platform. For as much as that 220R costs, I 
expect it to do everything and make me breakfast. But 
seriously, I could have bought three really sweet x86 systems 
with all kinds of bells and whistles, for the same money, and 
my dynamic graph generation would be a lot faster. Of course 
if the x86 doesn't have the requisite IO capability to deal 
with 18,000 targets every five minutes, then graph generation 
is a moot point.
