Zabbix Capacity Planner - Add your experience!
Hi Community!
I'm planning to write an online application for planning a Zabbix environment based on rough assumptions concerning item count, retention and update cycles.
I'd like to do this as user-friendly as possible. Thus, offering the ability to calculate on the base of Linux servers, Windows servers, 24-Port Switches, 48-Port Switches etc rather than specific item counts.
The output of that application would be estimated informations regarding CPU-, Memory- and Disksize with scalability assumptions for the next weeks, months, years.
Based on your expirience:
As stated, I'd like to calculate a real rough estimation rather than a specific number.
Any help or ideas are welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Dennis

Based on your expirience:
- What objects (Servers, Switches, etc.) should I offer for calculation? What objects are typically monitored?
- How many items do these objects typically have (i.e.: 24-Port switch: 24 ports * 7 items per port (ingress, egress, errors, state, admin state, name, alias)=168+3 items (name, location, contact)=171 items)
- How often are the items of these objects typically checked?
- How long are they retained (history, trends)
- What growth factor can be assumed regarding CPU, memory and disk per item?
As stated, I'd like to calculate a real rough estimation rather than a specific number.

Thank you in advance.
