sizing NagiosXI

[Francesco]

Hi all,
I'm searching documents about sizing of NagiosXI

• nodes: 1500
• services: 30000
• default check interval: 5 min

Thanks,

Typically, you can get somewhere between 10,000 and a maximum of 20,000 total checks (hosts + services) on a five minute interval from a single well-provisioned Nagios XI server, but this depends on many factors, including:

- The strength of your monitoring server
- The check interval (every 5 minutes is the default)
- Whether the checks are active or passive.
- The type of plugins being used (for example, SNMP and WMI checks are more resource intensive for Nagios)

This document outlines important server considerations, and a variety of steps which can be taken to maximize performance on your XI system, such as utilizing a RAM Disk and offloading the MySQL DB (typically recommended to expand beyond 10K checks):

In addition to this, you could review the "Boosting Performance" section in the Nagios XI Administrators Guide:

Testing is ultimately the only way to know for certain how many checks will be possible for a single XI server in the context of your unique requirements, and we offer a free 60 day trial you can leverage to help determine this.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Could you help me better understand Mod-Gearman?

• If I want a unique web console+Database, but, due networks rules, or performance, need different Nagios Core/Engine/something, I have to use Mod-Gearman?
• Is fully integrated with Nagios XI?

Thanks again,

If I want a unique web console+Database, but, due networks rules, or performance, need different Nagios Core/Engine/something, I have to use Mod-Gearman?

I don't understand if this is a question or a statement.

Is fully integrated with Nagios XI?

Neither your own 3rd party "unique web console+Database" nor Mod-Gearman is fully integrated with Nagios XI.

We have some documentation on Mod-Gearman however every Mod-Gearman installation is different, and customised by the person putting it together for their corporate needs. We will support Nagios XI fully, but can only assist with Mod-Gearman integration.

This is my NagiosXI server information:

I have 64GB Ram and 16 cores. I've done quite a bit of adjusting refresh rates and such, plus an offloaded DB server and it runs great.

Thanks for sharing @BanditBBS as your size is very similar the the requested sizing
