System requirements

• Ubuntu LTS or Debian
• 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
