Running Nagios on Vmware

[Ryan C Ash]

Sorry.  It probably would of helped to include some of this information.
It would be a large deployment in terms of what I have seen others
using.  There could be ~12 servers each with ~1,500 hosts and 300,000
service checks (almost all NSCA).  We expect a lot of service checks per
host so we want to keep the number of hosts homed to each server below
2,000.  I hope this helps.  

Thanks 

BTW if anyone has scalability documentation it would help us do some
server sizing.

I think it depends on your environment.  I'm running Nagios and Cacti on
Hyper-V with 165 hosts and 487 services.   It seems to be fine.
Sometimes apache is slow to respond.
