[mrtg] Re: MRTG limitations

[Ruben Montes]

Hello,

I'm working with mrtg, which is the maximum number of variables (more or
less) I can gather without using rrd? If I decide to use rrd, can you point
me to a good doc installation in a windows environmenmt? I've checked the
official website and the docs are not very clear...

Thanks in advance.

Ruben

I'm using 14all.cgi with a hand-crafted index page. I'd like to more
that over to router.cgi but just haven't had the time.

For web server, I'm running Apache 1.3x with mod_perl. It gives
reasonable performance in creating graphs, and never fails. Apache 2.x
is much faster, but the last time I tested it it was much less stable.
Probably time to try it again.

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
