Performance optimisations
This document will give you some guidance on optimising your setup.
The suggestions are in a rough order of how much impact they will have.
RRDCached
We absolutely recommend running this, it will save on IO load. RRDCached
MySQL Optimisation
It's advisable after 24 hours of running MySQL that you run (MySQL Tuner)[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl/master/mysqltuner.pl] which will make suggestions on things you can change specific to your setup.
One recommendation we can make is that you set the following in my.cnf:
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0
You can also set this to 2. This will have the possibility that you could lose up to 1 second on mysql data in the event MySQL crashes or your server does but it provides an amazing difference in IO use.
Polling modules
Disable polling (and discovery) modules that you do not need. You can do this globally in config.php like:
Disable OSPF polling
$config['poller_modules']['ospf'] = 0;
You can disable modules globally then re-enable the module per device or the opposite way. For a list of modules please see Poller modules
Optimise poller-wrapper
The default 16 threads that poller-wrapper.py runs as isn't necessarily the optimal number. A general rule of thumb is
2 threads per core but we suggest that you play around with lowering / increasing the number until you get the optimal value.
Recursive DNS
If your install uses hostnames for devices and you have quite a lot then it's advisable to setup a local recursive dns instance on the
LibreNMS server. Something like pdns-recursor can be used and then configure /etc/resolv.conf to use 127.0.0.1 for queries.
