Hardware Requirements and Guidelines

This chapter lists the hardware requirements (CPU, RAM, and disk storage) for 32- and 64-bit installations of the Foglight Management Server and the database repository.

About Hardware Requirements

The hardware needed to run Foglight can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including:

• The number and type of agents that are being used

• The persistence and data-rollup policies

• Agent configuration settings

You should not consider doing a production implementation without conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise with a qualified Quest Software representative. You can arrange for a sizing analysis by contacting your Quest Software Sales Representative. At a minimum, you are required to provide hardware matching the specifications in this chapter.

Server Components and Tiers

A Foglight Server installation has two components:

• The Foglight Management Server

• The Foglight Database Repository

Setting up Foglight to run both of its components on the same machine is known as a single-tier installation. Using separate machines for each component is known as a multi-tier installation.

Whichever configuration you choose, each component requires its own specifically-dedicated

resources. To help facilitate sizing, the resources required to support each component are listed

separately.

(7)

Chapter 1—Hardware Requirements and Guidelines

Single-Tier Hardware Requirements

To install Foglight in a single-tier configuration, you must have hardware capable of running both the Management Server (JVM) and database repository together. The requirements are listed below.

Server and Database, 32-bit Platforms

Important Some 32-bit operating systems, such as Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, have a 4 GB memory limit. This will limit the performance of Foglight particularly in single-tier configurations and should be taken into account when determining your hardware needs.

CPU 4-way 2.4 GHz CPUs—one of the following:

• 1 quad core

• 2 dual core

• 4 single core RAM 4 GB in total:

• 2.4 GB for Management Server

(1.6 GB for Heap, 0.8 GB for Java Virtual Machine)

• 0.8 GB for database repository

Foglight: System Requirements and Platform Support Guide 10 Chapter 1—Hardware Requirements and Guidelines

Agent Manager Resource Requirements

The Agent Manager uses minimal system resources, whether running on a monitored host or monitoring remotely. The amount used depends on a variety of factors including the number of agents running on the monitored host, the amount of data being collected, and whether the Management Server is running.

Caution This section is intended to provide general information that is applicable to most Foglight installations. You should not consider doing a production implementation without conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise with a qualified Quest Software representative.

The following table lists the system resources typically used by the Agent Manager while it is running.

CPU Usage • Varies greatly by cartridge/agent, the amount of data being collected, and the complexity of the technology being monitored

• Average is 4.8% CPU utilization

RAM • Varies greatly by cartridge/agent, the complexity of the technology being monitored, and Agent Manager configuration

• Average is 180 MB; ranges between 50 MB and 330 MB typically Storage May use up to 1 GB of hard disk for installation, operation, and

temporary data storage

Final Support Notice: Internet Explorer 6 and 7

This is the last release that has validated use of the Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 browsers. Support for these browsers will be removed in the next release of Foglight.

What About Other Browsers?

The Foglight user interface should also work on recent releases of other standards-compliant Web browsers. This cannot be guaranteed because they have not been tested. If you are using a different browser and encounter a rendering or navigation problem, we recommend trying one of the validated browsers to see if that resolves your issue. Quest Software will only provide support for browser issues that can be reproduced on a validated browser.

The validation testing criteria used by Quest Software’s Quality Assurance team is as follows:

• Browsers were tested on applicable operating systems including Windows XP,

Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Red Hat Desktop Linux, Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, and Mac OS X.

• The latest browser version or patch release available at the time of this Foglight release was used for testing. Newer browser versions will be validated as part of our next release.
