Physical or Virtual?

Post by RebeccaIlene »

Hi,

We have currently set up Nagios XI on a vertual system with two worker servers.
However the performance is very bad especially during business hours when our team works on changing configurations.
We have bout 2300 hosts and 27000 services. We receive requests to have more hosts and services added regularly. Please suggest what we can do to have his rectified. Will moving to a Physical server help?

Thank you,
Rebecca Murray

Physical is usually faster, one of the keys is very fast disks (SSDs) or RAID array will help a lot.

Here are some other performance enhancements you can make

Thank you for your help with this.
Can you please provide a proper process that we can follow to have our virtual structured moved to Physical?
