Number of objects that can be monitored (recommendation)

approx. 2.000 Objects (hosts or services)

approx. 2.000 Objects (hosts or services)

approx. 7.000 Objects (hosts and services

Note:

The number of objects (= hosts or services to be monitored) given above is rough number. There are simple checks like a "ping" to a host or very complex checks, like checking a website or a database login which may take much longer. Besides that the check interval is influencing the number of objects to monitor. It depends very much on the individual settings.

The important fact is: There are no restrictions to the number of checks to be implemented by CustoSec. Only restriction is the hardware's capacities (thus leading to the mentioned numbers). CustoSec does not have a volume based licence model!

Experience shows that the requirements in a middle size network (let's say a 500-desktops company) are easily met by CustoSec ME.
