xymongen tells me I have 3848 hosts on 447 pages.  Of those, about
1800 are registers, with another 400 seasonal registers that are just
starting to be spun up for the holidays.

I've got a Xymon VM server that's monitoring 100 hosts, mostly
collecting PowerShell Client data from Windows clients.
Disk = 10G and has filled to 86% after 3 years.  I'll probably need
to expand it a little bit one of these days.
CPU = 1 core, utilization hovers around 1%
Ram = 2G, utilization hovers around 15%

I've got another Xymon server running at a client location on a
Raspberry Pi.  It's been running for 2 years with no trouble.

I had one running on AWS once, but had trouble with backups and
migration, so I abandoned AWS.

The beauty of Xymon is that it can run very lean.  I normally use
Ubuntu headless server, but I got it working easily on Raspbian too.

I'm 4/20 gig after 495 days of uptime.  Graphs for 30 hosts.  I have
data from an older server that started probably 2006.

Xymon is not disk intensive, it's all text and RRD.

Good morning!

I am attempting to spin up my first Xymon server and would like
advice on system requirements, primarily disk space required but CPU
count and RAM would also be greatly be appreciated.  Looking at
initially monitoring 20 hosts and would like some room to grow.
Most likely will be running Xymon on FreeBSD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Currently monitoring 535 servers on a system that was first installed 6 years ago, my setup is using 16G of a 20G filesystem. Everything is installed in and running from that filesystem, including all RRD DBs.

15G of that is in the data directory, with 11G of that residing in the data/hostdata and 3.9G of residing in data/histlogs.
