Opsview Scalability

Network Engineering and Operations at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We didn't see any scaling issues with Opsview. We may not have used it with thousands of sites, so I can't say how it would run on thousands of sites as opposed to our deployment. We had maybe less than a thousand things that it was collecting on day one, and we're gonna add another 2,000 or 3,000 devices or endpoints at the end of year one. From our standpoint, being an enterprise that needs less than 5,000 devices, Opsview was very scalable.

Between 25 to 50 users in my company have access to Opsview. Still, in each domain on the network side, there are maybe a dozen people in the server team and a dozen people in the server desk, so 25 to 50 people easily access the solution at different levels. The service desk has access to the network and the servers, but they only have read access. They can't go in and do any admin work. The network team does admin work on the network, and the server team does admin work on servers.

We plan to increase the usage since our goal was to start the network and add web services later.

I rate Opsview an eight out of ten for scalability.

I wouldn't be able to comment on whether it is scalable because we haven't needed to increase its usage at all. It is a solution used only within the support team, which includes just a few people. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We have not encountered any scalability issues at all. With the ease in deploying slaves, we are about to add a couple of slaves to take on some heavy interface-laden equipment and I am confident that Opsview can handle all of it without issue.

Scalability is fair. I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are around 60 users in our organization using this solution. There are no specific job roles. Everybody will be using it to check the enrollment status.

We are just starting to reach the limits of scalability. We have ~3,500 hosts and ~40,000 services.

We had a scalability problem about a year-and-a-half ago where the number of monitored hosts was growing and the database was not able to keep up. But going forward, I don't see any problems with scalability. The downside of continuing to add more sites and distributed slave components at those sites is that reload times increase. I have to continue to use Nagios to prevent this, but it would be nice if it didn't have to be this way.

As we scale, we could set up slave clusters, which has worked.

We have not yet had to scale up our Opsview installation; it was sized to allow for significant growth in agents.

We've had issues with scalability as we ran out of house. We only had a contract for a certain number and ran out. We upscaled to 650 devices, which was a simple yet expensive process.

We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It easily scaled up to two datacentres when the need arose.

Our department's quite small, but from what I can tell, it's definitely scalable both up and out. We have around 200 servers, but the monitoring service uses only one server that's not clustered, although I'm sure clustering wouldn't be difficult with Opsview.

With the way the service checks work, you need to perform lots of manual setups to create specific service checks and templates for each host.
