Scalability and best practices for SNMP based- data collection
This section describes some best practices that you can use while configuring a device PATROL for Light Weight Protocols for monitoring network devices based on SNMP data collection.
The following tables provide information about the tested configuration scenarios. It also provides the information on the PATROL Agent performance and the application performance with respect to CPU utilization, memory, and threads in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5:
# | Number of devices | Total instance | Parameter | PATROL Agent | JAVA | Collection Interval | Threads | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Memory (MB) | CPU (%) | Memory (MB) | CPU (%) | ||||||
1 | 100 | 500 | 3000 | 45.4 | 5 | 127 | 0-12 | 5 | 110 |
2 | 400 | 2000 | 12000 | 57.5 | 6-12 | 167 | 12-35 | 5 | 410 |
