I have an environment that is 95% Cisco over 50 sites. We're in the process of deploying Zabbix and we have a working discovery process.
Is there any problem with having 50+ discovery rules?
We have the discovery rule set up so when it discovers a certain snmp OID (Cisco) on a subnet, it moves them into the appropriate destination host group eg SITE A, SITE B etc and then adds templates to the devices.
We could make ONE discovery rule on 10.1.0.0/16 but I can't see how to segment each device into sites or host groups which are on 10.1.1.0/24 - 10.1.51.0/24
So the question is...... is this going to tax the system much and how many discovery rules could you actually have?
System is Quad Xeon, 8gb ram , 4 x 15k sas @ Raid10 280gb
