Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

we are doing POC on nagios XI and we have installed Nagios XI free trail version on one our linux server. We need to know the capabilities of this instance i.e how many devices can we monitor from this single instance only.

Thanks

During the 60-day trial there are no software or license limitations of any kind, really. It's practically the same as having a full paid license. The only limits are basically imposed by hardware and processing speeds. The most we usually recommend for a single XI server is 20,000 hosts+services, and we suggest implementing some performance tweaks to maintain this. Any more than that and you start to run into problems with organization (that's a lot for a person or even a team to manage on a single server) and processing (reports will take longer to run as there is more data to churn through).
