Orion keeps having issues communicating with the SQL database. My server guys keep telling me Orion is overtaxing the DB server that is shared with several other mission critical databases. My thought was to take them out of the loop and just get myself a dedicated SQL server for Orion. If I went that route, what kind of specs would I need to run efficiently?
The other option is to make Orion stop overtaxing the current server. I had been running everything with default polling. I have 267 nodes, polling 2597 interfaces. I made the mistake in the beginning of selecting all up interfaces for polling. Ive been going through and removing interfaces that don't need to be polled, and setting the polling time to 120 seconds in an attempt to reduce stress on the SQL server. Am I going overboard with what I have now and expecting a typical shared SQL server to be able to handle it, or am I doing something wrong that is killing the server?
Any comment would be appreciated.
