One of the reasons I moved away from zabbix is that it opens up a connection to the monitored host's zabbix agent for every single item that it is monitoring -- and the default template for linux includes about a hundred items, so every time it checks a host it makes at least 100 connections to the same host. -- Jonathan Billings <<a href="mailto:jonathan.billings@umich.edu">jonathan.billings@umich.edu</a>> ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:30:33 -0400 From: Lincoln Fessenden <<a href="mailto:lincoln.fessenden@jefferson.edu">lincoln.fessenden@jefferson.edu</a>> Subject: Re: Systerm Monitoring To: <a href="mailto:redhat-sysadmin-list@redhat.com">redhat-sysadmin-list@redhat.com</a> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:4A796D59.2070602@jefferson.edu">4A796D59.2070602@jefferson.edu</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Joseph Chen wrote: > Basically it depends on your servers' amount.
