The hardware requirements are very minimal.. a SNMP query is an extremely easy task to do. There is very little SQL work being done; the only CPU or memory intensive operation is when a client is viewing graphs.

My Cacti box is a (Linux) machine with dual 600mhz CPUs, and 256MB ram.

Comment from Tom Lobato

It`s worth to comment that the error:

-----------------------------------------------------
mobile:~# php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in
/usr/share/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 367
-----------------------------------------------------

is not solved in debian etch (at least) with the instruction above. I had to tell
php CLI to load mysql.so to get it working.
In my case, I created the file /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mysql.ini and added the line:

extension=mysql.so

Remember, “your mileage may vary”, maybe you have to add this line in another file,
study your distribution and version.

After this, I get:

-----------------------------------------------------
mobile:~# php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php
01/07/2008 05:18:55 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:1.0205 Method:cmd.php Processes:1
