Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forums and need some assistance getting a solution to my problem.
The company I work for runs two Zenoss servers - one does the SMTP checking/diagnostics and the other handles the GUI and displays the data/graphs.
The company has decided that they would like to keep ALL historical data for purposes of pattern tracking & network statistics. The problem is that the MySQL database which stores this data is getting quite large, and will soon completely fill the partition that it exists on.
I decided it would be best to move all data older than 1 year off the server, and onto a third Zenoss server for analysis only - the server would just provide a way to display the historical/archived data in the database, and would not perform any other network diagnostics. I'm thinking I would manually move this data every 6 months (or script it if I can get to that point).
Can some one tell me, is this the best way to go about solving the problem? And if so, can anyone provide me any steps on moving data older than 1 year off of the MySQL database and onto the new server?
Currently, I'm running Zenoss v3.0.3 on CentOS 5.5. I would think the third server should be built identically to prevent any issues caused by version differences. Any advice on this third server setup is also welcomed!
Your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
z3r0day
