A customer of ours is considering using MySQL to archive events from a
network monitoring system. These events form a timeline of everything that
occurs on their WAN. The quantity of events could reach 15-20 thousand per
day, about 15 megs of data. The current thinking is for each month's data
to be a seperate database (filesystem directory) which would one day be
archived to CD. At any one time MySQL could have twelve 500+ meg databases
open. Does this sound OK?
In the near future the customer would purchase a CD-ROM jukebox and use it
to provide easy access to archived data. The desire here is to virtually
mount the CDs on the jukebox as subdirectories in /var/lib/mysql/ providing
the capabilities such as searching for all router failures on a given device
within the past. Does anyone here have any experience with CD jukeboxes on
Linux? Does the above seem logical?
