Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements vary depending on database activity. If your database activity increases, you may need to adjust your hardware configuration.
The machine running the Database Agent should meet the following hardware requirements:
- 1 GB of heap space and an additional 512 MB of heap space for each monitored database instance. For less busy databases, you may reduce the heap space to 256 MB per monitored database instance.
- 2 GHz or higher CPU.
Note:
Database Instance
A Database instance can be a node in the Oracle RAC, MongoDB, Couchbase cluster, standalone-collector, or a sub-collector.
This table shows sample calculations for heap space allocation:
| Number of Database Instances Monitored | Heap Space Allocation |
|---|---|
| 5 | (5 x 512 MB) + 1024 MB = 3,584 MB |
| 20 | (20 x 512 MB) + 1024 MB = 11,264 MB |
| 100 | (100 x 512 MB) + 1024 MB = 52,224 MB |
