What Is Your Polling Configuration?

DirtySouth over 15 years ago

I'm trying to get an idea of what the optimal polling interval and statistics collection interval would be based on the number of nodes and interfaces. I was hoping we could get a thread going with everyone's polling configuration along with the server Orion is running on. One of the main problems with our previous NMS was that it was overtaxed, resulting in a lot of false alarms. Here is what I've got.

Network Nodes - 722, Interfaces - 1199, Volumes - 483

I've got the majority of my devices configured to poll every 120 seconds and statistics at 10 minutes. Approximately 50 critical devices are being polled every 60 seconds and statistics every 5 minutes.

Quad-Core Xeon 64-bit running Server 2k3 32-bit w/ 4GB RAM.

I have two environments one SLX server with 2 Xeon 3.2 GHZ 4 GB ram 6 15K 72.8 GB HDD Raid 5 polling every status 5 Min. SQL is running locally. The average CPU load is in the 30’s memory is high due to SQL but stays at about 85% used.
Nodes
5968 Nodes
Interfaces 8 Interfaces
Volumes 16 Volumes
The second is Four SLX servers that poll Stats every 5 to 10 minutes depending on the node and status every 5 min.
Nodes
6533 Nodes
Interfaces 14399 Interfaces
Volumes 4496 Volumes
The three additional pollers are 2 way Xeon at 2.93 With 2 GB RAM. These boxes average between 20 and 50 % CPU utilization. The main poller is a 4 way Xeon 2.93 with 4 GB ram (It runs NetFlow for over 2000 interfaces also). SQL is running on the corporate Cluster and the DB is on the SAN. This box averages 55% CPU utilization and about 2 GB of memory used.
