Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We have more than 30 Exchange services are in monitoring which is impacting on performance of network/server.

Please let us know how to overcome this.


Thanks,
Siva vani

Can you be a little more specific? You have 30 service checks set up for one exchange server, and it is impacting performance of that server? What kind of performance issues are you witnessing? If your 30 checks are too many, you should remove some of them. I'd like more information on what you are seeing happen though.

I would like to know how many servers and services that one Nagios XI can monitor.

You can generally get away with 10,000+ services on a single instance. Over 10,000 you're looking at wanting to do some performance optimization. This is all going to depend on your server specs, environment, etc...

Thanks for the update.

As this thread sounds resolved, do you mind if I close it out?

If the parameter count goes beyond 10,000 then what can be capacity planning matrix apart from adding new Nagios instance.

There are many things to consider at that point such as a ramdisk, offloading SQL, and many performance tweaks based on the type of checks you're running.

Please let us know if we can open new support ticket for describing more on this.

What are you looking for more information about?
