Processor and Memory requirements based on the number of monitored servers:
| Monitored servers | CPU Cores | Memory (RAM) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | 2 | 8 |
| 3-4 | 4 | 16 |
| 5+ | 8 | 32 |
NOTES: - Installing Server Monitoring on an SSD disk drive is recommended for better performance.
Be sure to allocate enough disk space on the server that hosts the Administration Console. The amount of data collected and the size of the SQL database will depend on how many servers are monitored.
Best practices dictate that it is ideal to run Server Monitoring on a dedicated server. This prevents other applications from reducing resources available to your monitoring platform.
Your hardware must use one of the operating systems below:
Both 32 and 64 bits architectures are supported.
The agents (servers which are monitored) can be Linux or Windows Operating Systems. Linux agents have been tested so far on Ubuntu and Debian distributions. If you have a server with another distribution and get some issues to install the agent, please contact us.
Only one network port is required: port 7778, which is not an officially registered port and therefore not already assigned to specific services.
Note: Server Monitoring uses the same network ports as ServerGenius, therefore ServerGenius must be uninstalled prior to installing Server Monitoring.
