Is Fusion the answer for us?
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 2:57 pm
We currently have a single Nagios install monitoring a very large number of hosts and services. I am utilizing NRDS in order to help take the load off of the server, as well as ramdisk, but I am still running into issues where I must stagger the checks being sent to the server over an unreasonable time frame in order to prevent the server from locking up.
We currently monitor 941 hosts and 22584 services.
A very large number of these services are checked via NRDS. I have to stagger these checks from 3 to 10 minutes in order to spread the load. However, this is really not desired due to the nature of our systems.
I should also note that I would ideally like to add at least another 1000 hosts to this configuration in the form of a simple ping. I would also like to be able to add more service checks on existing hosts, but am limited currently as we cannot process everything in a timely manner on our current server.
Would splitting this set-up over multiple boxes and utilizing Fusion be my best bet?
