How many server can we monitor from cacti.

Post by sagarbirari »

Hello Expert,

I have application with abt 900 servers, some are windows and some are linux. I want bandwidth graph of each server.
Can i configure those 900 server on server which has cacti.

My question if i configure 900 server on one server then can it will be overloaded.

Regards

The answer is that it depends on your Cacti server :-)

But if all you want is bandwidth graphs, you should consider measuring the bandwidth on each switch port instead. If all your 900 servers are connected to (e.g.) 40 switches, then it should be more efficient. Cacti sends multiple queries for the same device, so the load would be less.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)
