A couple of weeks ago, I was asked if our Hobbit system at work could
handle monitoring of one more customer. Of course, I said - no problem.
Well, there was one gotcha: This customer has 1100+ servers that need
to be monitored. Which means my Hobbit installation is about to double
in the number of hosts monitored. Hmm ...
This will be interesting to watch. I am fairly confident that Hobbit can
handle it, with one exception: The disks on my Hobbit server will be
overloaded. It already spends about 50% of it's time in I/O wait, so
doubling the number of hosts with cpu/memory/disk etc. graphs will
probably crash it.
