i-Vertix IT Monitoring Server Requirements
The resources needed for optimal performance depend on the product configuration. Addingmore devices, monitors/services and other configuration options may increase the server and database workload. Therefore, server configuration adjustments may be necessary to optimize performance for your specific environment.
i-Vertix Central Manager
Recommended specifications
- Hypervisor: VMware
- CPU: 4 3+GHz vCPU *
- RAM: 8+GB
- HDD: 250GB or greater **
*: exact number of required CPUs depends on frequency and type of monitors **: Disk space required to store collected status and performance data depends on several factors, such as: polling interval, number and type of monitors and data retention period
i-Vertix Smart Poller
- Hypervisor: VMware
- CPU: 2 vCPU
- RAM: 8GB
- HDD: 60GB
A poller can monitor on average 10.000 services/monitors.
The table below describes requirements for i-Vertix IT Monitoring Server:
| Number of Services | Estimated number of hosts | Number of pollers | Central | Poller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <500 | 50 | 1 central | 1 vCPU 4 GB | - |
| 500 – 2.000 | 50 – 200 | 1 central | 2 vCPU 4 GB | - |
| 2.000 – 7.000 | 200 – 700 | 1 central, 1 poller | 4 vCPU 4 GB | 2 vCPU 4 GB |
| 7.000 – 14.000 | 700 – 1.400 | 1 central, 2 poller | 4 vCPU 8 GB | 2 vCPU 4 GB |
| 21.000 – 28.000 | 2.100 – 2.800 | 1 central, 3 poller | 4 vCPU 8 GB | 2 vCPU 4 GB |
Define disk space
The space used to store collected performance data depends on several criteria:
- Frequency of controls
- Number of controls
- Retention time
The following table provides an estimate of disk space required for your platform assuming:
- Data is collected every 5 minutes
- The retention period is 6 months
- Each performance graph has 2 curves
| Number of Services | /var/lib/mysql (in GB) | /var/lib/centreon (in GB) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | 10 | 2,5 |
| 2.000 | 42 | 10 |
| 10.000 | 93 | 27 |
| 20.000 | 186 | 54 |
| 50.000 | 465 | 135 |
| 100.000 | 930 | 270 |
