Antwort: Best Server? [Virus scanned]

[Sascha Runschke]

I just ordered a new machine for our Nagios server which should serve your
needs too:

Compaq Proliant DL360 G4 with a single Xeon 3.2 Ghz, 2 Gig Ram, 2x 36G 10k 
HDDs in Raid 1

On a sidenote: don't even consider building a server for yourself with
custom hardware. If the company sees the need to monitor its network, it 
would
be a dire mistake to build that on a selfmade machine. Expect any desktop
machine to start failing after 1 year and it will prolly die off another 
year later.
They are not meant to run 24x7 under full stress.
If they are serious, they buy server hardware for it - and not the 
cheapest crap around.

        Thema:  [Nagios-users] Best Server? [Virus scanned]


Hi!

I am in the glorious position to choose what kind of server should be 
bought for the monitoring server. But actually i have no Idea where to 
put stress on.

I am using Nagios 1.2 to monitor about 200 Hosts and 400 Services but 
that will be alot ( maybe + 600 Services) more when everything is proper 
configured.

Actually i am running Nagios on a Celeron 300 with 128 Meg under Debain 
testing, works but starts lagging (load up to 15) and webside is kinda 
slow.

So i got the following question from purchasing guy: What sort of spec 
do you think would be appropriate? What make/model CPU? Single CPU or 
multiple? How much RAM?

I believe because of the lots of spawned processes a Dual CPU would be 
fine and some RAM. What would you recommend (be realistic i don't want 
to have a Dual XXX that is idleing all the time)?

I was thinking about either a small Dual System (better opteron or 
Xeon?) with around a gig of ram. Or a single AMD64 or P4 with a gig of 
RAM.

A configured Dell Server:
Dual Xeon 2.8, 1 Gig Ram, 2 *40 GB Raid 1 Harddisks is about 1800 Euro.

a selfbuild P4 3.2 will be definitly cheaper :-)
