12.1.3 Estimating IM database capacity requirements

When using the integrated monitoring database and the IM Configuration Management database, estimate the amount of capacity required for the databases on the managers where JP1/IM - Manager is running. The following table lists the database sizes available for selection when you set up the system.

Table 12-1 Database size models

Size model Capacity Example of system scale
Total Details
Small scale (S) 11 GB Integrated monitoring database 9 GB

Total items of event information:
1,000,000 (approx.)
This number is based on the following assumptions:
  • Average event size: 1 KB
  • Number of events generated per day: 33,000
  • Storage period for event information: 30 days
IM Configuration Management database 1 GB

Maximum number of managed hosts:
1,024 hosts
System database area# 1 GB --
Medium scale (M) 36 GB Integrated monitoring database 33 GB

Total items of event information:
4,000,000 (approx.)
This number is based on the following assumptions:
  • Average event size: 1 KB
  • Number of events generated per day: 130,000
  • Storage period for event information: 30 days
IM Configuration Management database 1 GB

Maximum number of managed hosts:
1,024 hosts
System database area# 2 GB --
Large scale (L) 114 GB Integrated monitoring database 96 GB

Total items of event information:
12,000,000 (approx.)
This number is based on the following assumptions:
  • Average event size: 1 KB
  • Number of events generated per day: 400,000
  • Storage period for event information: 30 days
IM Configuration Management database 10 GB

Maximum number of managed hosts:
10,000 hosts
System database area# 8 GB --

The size of the system database area is estimated from the amount of user data to be managed.

In a cluster system, ensure that sufficient disk space is available on the shared disk and local disk, as specified in the table below.

Table 12-2 Additional disk space requirements in a cluster system

Size model Total space required Space required on shared disk Space required on local disk
System database area Integrated monitoring database area IM Configuration Management database area System database area
Small scale (S) 11 GB 0.95 GB 9 GB 1 GB 0.05 GB
Medium scale (M) 36 GB 1.9 GB 33 GB 1 GB 0.1 GB
Large scale (L) 114 GB 7.4 GB 96 GB 10 GB 0.6 GB

We recommend that you set a database size that provides sufficient leeway should the number of generated events suddenly increase during system operation.
