We have ~3000 machines being monitored with ganglia, but the load is split between two separate machines. Probably not the statistic you were after. :) Best machine I had available when setting up carried 4GB of memory, so I could have put everything on one machine but it wouldn't have left much room for growth. More memory than 4GB is pretty common now.. next time I upgrade our gmetad hosts I'll probably try to put all 3000 on one node, but for now it's two machines. > So far I have yet to hear of anybody reaching a ceiling in terms of > scaling Ganglia installations once the usual steps of putting rrds in > ramdisk/tmpfs -- do let us know if you learn otherwise! > > Thanks, > > Bernard > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. > It's the best place to buy or sell services for > just about anything Open Source. > http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php > _______________________________________________ > Ganglia-general mailing list > Ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
