NagiosXI Cloud Monitoring Scalability

[Richard.Moore]

Hello Support,

I am looking to deploy NagiosXI into the Public Cloud in my architectural design for monitoring. What I'd like to know is does Nagios scale in the Public cloud and if so, how does scalability function with continuous growth of onboarding assets?

Hi Richard,

Good question. There's a practical upper limit to how many hosts and services you can check from one server (without having to jump over too many hurdles).

What is planned growth for the total number of host and service checks or check load? What type of checks do you have planned, SNMP, using an Agent or an API?
