I am currently running my server on a IBM xSeries 336 (dual 2.6 GHz
Pentium 4, 2 GB ram). Below are teh details from the xymonnet page that
show hosts, tests, ... This basically says all tests done by server are
completed within 43 seconds (26 of that is DNS).
xymond report tells me I average 6 incoming status messages a second from
the clients. Load average for this server stays below 0.3 (last 2 days).
For last two days, it totals 94% idle.
In other words, the server does not need much memory or cpu -- especially
if you distribute the tests to clients. Xymon supports central testing as
well as distributed testing. I tend to distribute as much of the testing
as I can/as makes sense (the client runs the test and merely reports
status to server).
Feel free to contact me directly if you would like more info or details.

Morning or Evening, Everyone.
I am looking at deploying Xymon, through the Google Cloud Compute service, I sadly have no space for a physical server and was wondering if can Zymon
can run on an low amount of ram and CPU.
