MID Server sizing for Metric IntelligenceIntroduction This article lists out the MID server and instance sizing guidelines. These sizing guidelines are based on internal performance testing. Purpose These sizing guidelines will help in estimating the MID server machine configurations like cpu cores, RAM and instance nodes. Hardware Requirements of MID server host Following are the MID server sizing guidelines from multiple scenarios that are tested. Host Configuration - Linux Server - 8 cores / 16GB RAMNo of Instance Nodes - 6 Single MID server supports 400K metrics/minute Heap Size12GBNo of Agents4KMetrics / Agent100Total Metrics / Minute400KNo of MID1 Five MID server supports 2M metrics/minute (400K metrics / MID) Heap Size12GBNo of Agents20KMetrics / Agent100Total Metrics / Minute2MNo of MID5 Note: These performance tests are conducted on 6 node instance with default MB (MetricBase) database size.
