Hi Patrick, Ive currently got one server doing everything (and more) hosting 600 hosts and ~6000 services. The main server itself won't be doing any actual execution, it will just be receiving passive alerts. I would still like to keep one master, but just use multiple slaves that feed into it.
Out of curiosity, are you using a correlation system at the top of your multi-master setup? --kyleo On 6/29/07, Morris, Patrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to spec some hardware for a nagios environment capable of > > ~5000 hosts, and ~50,000 services. > > > > I am wondering if anyone has any hardware recommendations for the > > active-service-check machines (or polling), and the (hopefully) 1 > > centralized passive-service-check recipient.
