  • 2 CPU cores (x86-64)
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 40 GB space

Production system sizing

Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This depends on the amount of hosts and services you like to monitor.
Please keep in mind that a monitoring system usually will create more I/O than your KVM farm!
It’s recommended to use SSD as main storage.
A rough guide:

  • 32 GB RAM
  • 16 CPU Cores
  • 500 GB space
