Running Zabbix on a MikroTik ROSE Data Server (RDS): Monitoring 500+ Network Devices

This project demonstrates how a MikroTik ROSE Data Server (RDS) can run Zabbix directly on RouterOS to monitor a production network with more than 500 devices. Using six 1TB NVMe drives in RAID5, the system is processing approximately 355 monitoring values per second while using only 2GB of RAM and 1.2–2% CPU, showing just how capable the RDS can be as an all-in-one network monitoring and storage platform.
