Maximum Interfaces when running Switch/Router Monitor Wizard

I have a Cisco Switch with over 600 interfaces. Every time I run the Network Switch / Router Monitoring Wizard it fails with the error:

An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to the monitoring engine. Contact your Nagios administrator if this problem persists.

When I scale back the number of interfaces to 100 during the wizard I can get it to work.

What is the maximum number of interfaces that can be imported using that wizard?

There isn't a maximum, but for a lot of interfaces you may need to increase the php max_execution_time as described here

I was able to increase the php max_execution value in /etc/php.ini and all 600 interfaces were imported into NagiosXI.

Thanks once again for the help Scott!
