4.5.2 Maximum disk space requirements for the management server

Database folder

The following information used by the management server:

• Security policy

• Group

• Agent settings

Stored until deleted.

0.5 GB

The following asset information:

• Hardware asset information

• Managed-software information

• Software license information

• Contract information

Stored until deleted.

5 GB

Actually, the disk space might exceed 5 GB because the folder size increases with the number of registered items.

We also assume that the following information items have been registered, each item has no additional management items, and many large files are not registered. To register many large files to be managed, allocate sufficient free space separately.

• Hardware asset information: 20,000 items

• Managed-software information: 500 items

• Software license information: 100 items

• Contract information: 100 items

Device information for managed devices

Stored until deleted.

10 GB

This is based on the assumption that 10,000 devices are managed.

Revision history

Stored until the used disk space reaches the maximum. If the maximum space is exceeded, entries are deleted beginning from the oldest.

Approximately 7 GB

This is based on the assumption of a system with 10,000 managed devices, in which the number of device information changes recorded daily per device is the total of the following:

• Number of changes recorded in day-to-day operation: 14

• Number of invalid changes: 0.1 (one invalid change per device in 10 percent of devices)

Events

Stored until the used disk space reaches the maximum. If the maximum space is exceeded, events are deleted, beginning from the oldest.

(250 x 10,000 licenses owned + 10,000) x 1.5 KB = Approximately 4 GB

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

• 250 events are generated for one managed device per day

• The number of owned licenses (managed devices) is 10,000.

• 10,000 events are generated per day irrespective of the number of managed devices.

• One event requires 1.5 KB of disk space.

Reports for the specified storage period

Stored for the specified number of years (from 1 to 10) as the storage period.

10 GB

This is based on the assumption that reports are stored for 10 years.

Approximately 10 GB

This is based on the assumption that 1,000 10 MB packages are registered.

Data folder

Packages used by the distribution function

Stored until deleted.

Temporary storage data of operation logs

Stored until the data is stored in the operation log backup folder.

Approximately 150 GB

Required for acquiring operation logs. This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist, and when operation log backup to the backup folder has not been performed for 2 weeks (5 business days per week):

• Number of managed computers: 10,000

• All the operation logs are acquired.

• Periodic export of the operation logs are not performed.

Operation log database folder

Operation logs when only operations closely related to information leakage are logged (automatically restored operation logs)

Operation logs are stored for a period specified in the Period for storing automatically restored operation logs field under Operation Log Settings in the Settings module.

Approximately 15.3 GB

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

• Number of managed computers: 10,000

• The amount of operation logs per computer per day is 80 KB.

• 1 month (20 business days per month) of operation logs are acquired.

Operation logs when all operations are logged (automatically restored operation logs)

Operation logs are stored for a period specified in the Period for storing automatically restored operation logs field under Operation Log Settings in the Settings module.

Approximately 297 GB

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

• Number of managed computers: 10,000

• The amount of operation logs per computer per day is 1.52 MB.

• All the operation logs are acquired.

• 1 month (20 business days per month) of operation logs are acquired.

Operation logs restored from the backup folder for reference in the operation log list (manually restored operation logs)

Stored until deleted.

Approximately 17.9 GB

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

• The amount of operation logs per computer per day is 1.52 MB.

• All the operation logs are acquired.

• 3 months (3 x 20 business days) of operation logs for 200 computers are acquired.

Operation log backup folder

Backed up operation logs

These logs are stored until deleted when the operation log backup folder is specified.

If you attempt to reference the restored operation logs in the operation log list, they are restored in the operation log database folder, but the operation logs in the operation log backup folder are not deleted.

There is no space limitation.

Prepare a backup folder by referring to the value obtained as follows: Storage period (days) defined by the administrator x number of managed computers x 70 (KB per day per device).

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

• All the operation logs are acquired.

• Periodic export of the operation logs is not performed.

Revision history output folder

Archived revision history

When you enable output of the revision history archive, revision histories are output to this folder as CSV files at regular intervals.

Approximately 10 GB

This is based on the assumption that 10,000 devices are managed, and the revision history archive spans five years.
