Hello,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It's interresting.
I'm sorry but my IT manager doesn't want to have several servers for linux
softwares.
I have to configure just one server with Nagios, Cacti and BackupPC.
So I have to propose a configuration of server to support it.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Romain

Re: [BackupPC-users] Ressources Server (BackupPC + Nagios + Cacti)
[original message lost, sorry]
It doesn't really matter what the specs of your box are, putting a
monitoring solution on the same box as a production server is a bad idea.
What happens when that box fails? What's going to notify you? Nagios
won't,
since it'll be down, too.
I'm not sure about Cacti, but I can tell you that nagios can run pretty
comfortably on a fairly low-end machine. We monitor about 100 machines,
and
about 350 services with Nagios, on a VM.
Use the big box for BackupPC, and use some hardware that you retired
because
it got "too slow" for Nagios. While you're at it, setup at least two
Nagios
servers so you have redundancy. Otherwise you're in the same situation
that
I mentioned before: the Nagios box goes down and there's nothing to notify
you about it.
