What’s an Opsview Collector & why do I need them?

Within large organizations where there are large numbers of devices to monitor, or in a distributed datacenter that can span continents, countries or cities, a single Opsview Monitor server can get bogged down trying to process all the necessary device checks. As a result, it may fall behind leading to delayed checks and notifications.

Also, networks that make use of secured zones or firewall rules to segregate devices and services should not have that security compromised by having to open significant numbers of ports to enable monitoring. Adding Opsview Monitor Collectors to the monitoring hierarchy can help to spread the load and reduce latency, as well as reduce network administration issues by ensuring that all devices can be adequately monitored.
