Issue/Introduction

Is there a limit to how many profiles the rsp probe can monitor?

Environment

• Release: Any
• Component: rsp

Resolution

• There is no specific limit to the number of profiles\servers that can be monitored via rsp. There are many factors that contribute to this.
• We are aware of customers who have several hundred profiles configured and others who struggle with over 50.
• We are also aware of one customer who monitors 2000 servers collecting CPU. Memory and Disk with no issues at all
   
  What you are monitoring has a huge impact. For example, monitoring processes and or event logs significantly decreases the performance of the probe.
   
  You have to consider if you are using a dedicated server running the RSP probe or not and what resources are available to the probe.

->notes that when configuring the discovery method for a profile there is a limit of 250 IPv4 addresses or 50 IPv6 addresses.
