Scalability

[Jeff Weisberg]

|     I'm wondering how much data Argus can reasonably be asked to 
| handle.  Does anyone know what the largest installation is to date, and 
| the type of hardware it's running on?  Can Argus run threaded?


the largest installation that I know of, is monitoring
over 10000 hosts. I don't know what they are running on.

if you want to monitor a lot of services, you'll need
to pay attention to memory (argus uses a lot) and cpu
(argus uses very little). running 'argusctl status'
and having argus graph its own memory, cpu, (etc) stats,
will be useful. see:
