15.12.5. Choosing Suitable MySQL Enterprise Service Manager Hardware Configurations

Running MySQL Enterprise Service Manager places a reasonable load on your system, and this load increases linearly as you add more agents monitoring more servers. Ideally, you should use a dedicated machine for MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, rather than running it alongside other applications and services.

Minimum System Requirements

  • 2 or more CPU cores

  • 2 or more GB of RAM

  • Disk I/O subsystem applicable for a write-intensive database

Recommended System Requirements (if monitoring 100 or more MySQL servers)

  • 4 or more CPU cores

  • 8 or more GB of RAM

  • Disk I/O subsystem applicable for a write-intensive database (RAID10, RAID 0+1)
