Hi.
I want to monitor 8000 devices by snmp on average with a polling interval of 300 seconds.
Can you help me? What hardware requirements are needed (CPU, RAM, disk) for Icinga master, mysql to efficiently monitor my devices.
Thanks.

One important datum missing from your question is âwhat do you mean by
âmonitorâ?â
In other words, how much data are you intending to collect from each device
every 300 seconds?
At one extreme it could be âuptimeâ for each device; at the other it could be
âthe MAC address table and bandwidth usage for each port on a 96 port switchâ.
So, you want to monitor 8000 things every 5 minutes - how much data do you
want to get each time?

Checking every 300 seconds uptime of switches and routers.
I would say that that falls into the âtrivialâ category, and you can do this
on anything that can run Icinga itself to your satisfaction.
I would be surprised if you canât do this on a Raspberry Pi, as far as real-
time data collection is concerned.
My guess at the network bandwidth involved is:
100 Ă 8000 = 800 kbytes every 300 seconds = 2.7 kbytes/sec = 27 kbps
Almost immeasurable. Youâll be using more bandwidth watching Icingaweb2
(which can also work perfectly well on a Raspberry).
