Additional Sizing Considerations

  • Large installations are not supported on virtual machines or systems that use network-attached storage.
  • The RAM recommendations leave room for operating system processes. However, the recommendations assume that no other memory intensive applications are running on the same machine. While the Enterprise Console can run on the same host as the Controller in small or demo profile Controllers, it is not recommended for medium and larger profiles or for high availability deployments. See Enterprise Console Requirementsif the Enterprise Console is on the same host as the Controller.
  • Disk sizing in the sizing table represents the approximate space consumption for metrics, about 7 MB for each metric per minute.
  • The motherboard should not have more than 2 sockets.
  • See Calculating Node Count in .NET Environmentsfor information related to sizing a .NET environment.

  • The agent counts do not reflect additional requirements for EUM or Database Visibility. See the following sections for more information.
