Pulp Free: Status

Interesting that I just came across this note:

Since WordPress.com broke 10 million pageviews today, I thought it would be a good time to talk a little bit about keeping track of all the servers that run WordPress.com, Akismet, WordPress.org, Ping-o-matic, etc. Currently we have over 300 servers online in 5 different data centers across the country. Some of these are collocated, and others are with dedicated hosting providers, but the bottom line is that we need to keep track of them all as if they were our children! Currently we use Nagios for server health monitoring, Munin for graphing various server metrics, and a wiki to keep track of all the server hardware specs, IPs, vendor IDs, etc. All of these tools have suited us well up until now, but there have been some scaling issues.

You know I just had to leave a note about my Cacti obsession. I just wish I could show off my 6,000+ graphs from my work life! LOL - for now - I only have these few graphs here… So sad! (Yes - I know I can export them - but it took the server about 36 hours to write out all of the HTML and graphs the last time I did it…)
