[mrtg] Re: MRTG limitations

[Jerry Heidtke]

I'm monitoring 14,000 variables with a single installation of mrtg, running on a single-CPU 1.2 GHz Windows 2000 Server with 1 GB of RAM. I could do two or three times this many on this box. To get more, I'd add another CPU (or move it to a newer box) and maybe some more RAM.

In it's default mode, you'd have difficulty getting mrtg to monitor 1,000 variables. But if you use rrd instead of rateup and a good scheduler, you could do it easily. Check the mailing list archives, there's a lot of good information on large mrtg installations.

Subject: [mrtg] MRTG limitations


Hello,
is there any limitation in the number of variables that MRTG can poll ?
I want to integrate MRTG in corporate environment and they're are a bit
afraid of the application hanging up due to the load of variables to poll...
I'm talking about gathering 1000 variables

Thanks in advance

Ruben
