With parallel checks in Nagios 3 and some configuration tuning and well-written SNMP checks, I'd argue that Nagios is as good if not a better poller than cactid :). our instance is not huge, but currently we do 7000+ SNMP-based checks in 3 minutes on a dual quad-core Linux-based server. Before PNP I used to use Cacti and Nagios. I like Cacti, but with PNP around I would never go back to that combination again .. Nagios + PNP really does simplify life for Nagios administrators and provides a lot of flexibility as far as how you scale your graphing as your node base grows. - Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
