Question on Central Server / Hosts Ratio

[steve f]

Hello,

I am trying to get an idea of  a central server to host ratio for a large Nagios 3.2 deployment I am working on.

I anticipate having about 600 distributed servers , each responsible for 10-15 hosts ( including itself ) .  I figure about 10 - 15 checks per host.  All hosts are identical and all will have the same checks.

Each central server would probably be a SuSE 11 VM server.

Any rules of thumb for determining the number of hosts ? distributed server a central server can accommodate ? 

Can provide details as needed.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
