Processors required for Nagios

[ffejes at sears.com]

For what it's worth, we are currently running our Nagios server on a 400MHz
Intel Pentium II NetBSD 1.5.2 PC with 128MB RAM.  We have > 250 hosts and >
350 services.  The load average barely hovers between .1 and .2!  Our
backup/failover Nagios machine is a Sun Ultra 5 with a 290MHz cpu and 64MB
RAM running Debian Linux.  Both machines run other services such as HTTP
(obviously), FTP, and /MySQL.

Actually these figures suggest that 512Mb would be adequate.  The 637Mb of
"cached" is actually free memory being used as disk cache.  Most modern
OSes
make use of free memory as extra cache space, it is a good use for it and
can be easily allocated to more pressing requirements without pageing.
