NPM upgrade to 64bit support?

Paul_Westhead

Hi,

Having recently become a solarwinds customer after 7 years of watching the product expand and grow I have noticed that there are certain key parts that seem to have remained the same.

One of the main areas which is a sad point fo me is the poller has remained a 32bit application.

I have noticed that when you have start to do some proper work with an unlimited poller, circa 11K elements at a 9 minute polling interval the web reporting platform starts to struggle.

Having spoken with Solarwinds support the general concencus is that 10K at 9 minutes is the maximum recommended.

However does any one else seem to have the same problem?

For such a superb product it's sad to see something so fundamental lagging behind on the development path.

Actually we are making progress in this direction, unfortunantly it is not a switch you just turn on.  If you have been using the product for this long you are aware of the standard poller.  We are in the process of introducing the next-gen architecture of this poller which in the long run will give us many advantages, mainly being able to be multi-threaded.  We introduced phase I which handles status and volume polling in 10.1 and are working on phase II for the next version.  So we are moving in this direction behind the scenes.
