[Xymon] XyMon System Requirements

[Matthew Neumark]

Hello,
 
Currently I'm managing a XyMon server which consists of around 5,000
devices. We are looking to keep continually adding more and more devices
to it as time goes on. The issue is our system is currently always using
max system resources we keep allocating to the server. BTW devmon seems
to be the highest system resource hog.
 
Stats:
About 5,000 devices
XyMon 4.3.0-0-beta2
DevMon 0.2
4 CPU(s)
16 GB RAM
Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (32-Bit)
300GB Enterprise SAN Storage - Fiber Channel - (3 Years of archived
data stored)
 
Do it do me any good to give the system more resources? CPU(s) or RAM?
 
What is the experience that other users have with monitoring this many
devices?
 
What system configurations are you using to support this many monitored
hosts?
 
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I was wondering what options we
have before making any big decisions.
 
Matt
