benchmark question

[shadih rahman]

List,
   Is there any information as to what is the maximum number of services one
can run on a single box with single instance of Nagios?  I did not find any
concrete data on this.

I am running a single instance of nagios on a quad core 2.5 GHZ machine with
with 4 Gigs of RAM.

I have total of 7359 service check running on this box.  I have also
ndoutils running on the same box as backend.

My total service checks is going to five fold very soon with a lot of nrpe
checks.

Now, my question is should I run multiple instance of nagios on the same box
or a single instance will be able to handle about 30000 service checks?

I already tested a dev environment with multiple instance of nagios with
some hacking to init.d script, it started and monitored fine.  What would be
the preferred method of running nagios, single instance on a box or multiple
instance on a box when we are dealing with high number of service checks?

Please comment on this.  Thanks

Cordially,
Shadhin Rahman
