Performance benchmarks and timing for data and event management operations
This topic presents timing approximations for the following operations in an environment that includes data collection and event management:
The following environment is used as a sample for the timing estimates.
Sample data collection and event management environment
Metric | Amount or value |
|---|---|
Number of devices | 20 K |
Number of groups | 2100 |
Number of monitor instance | 200 K |
Number of intelligent events | 5 K per day |
Number of attributes | 1,500 K |
Database size | 60 GB |
Average database growth per day | 2 GB |
Backup and restore, Infrastructure Management SAP SQL Anywhere ASA database
- Infrastructure Management stores up to seven database restore log files (six files from Monday through Saturday, one file with the full backup)
- Average size of each incremental log file: 13 GB
- Time to restore each incremental log file: 30 minutes
Infrastructure Management stores up to seven database restore log files (six from Monday through Saturday, and one that comes with the full backup)
The following table shows the amount of time necessary to restore a Infrastructure Management SAP SQL Anywhere ASA Database.
Backup files | Time to restore |
|---|---|
1 incremental backup file | 30 minutes |
1 full backup + 1 incremental backup files | 1 hour |
1 full backup + 6 incremental backup files | 3.5 hours |
Start up time for the Infrastructure Management Server
The start up time for the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server with a SAP SQL Anywhere database and an Oracle database is 17 to 20 minutes.
Input/output operations per second for the Infrastructure Management Server and database
The input/output operations per second (IOPS) in a BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server network is often measured by the number of read and write bytes per second for computer storage devices, such as the hard disk.
The following table describes the environment that is used as a sample for the timing estimates in a large deployment.
Sample data collection and event management environment
Metric | Amount or value |
|---|---|
Number of devices | 20k |
Number of groups | 2100 |
Number of monitor instance | 200k |
Number of intelligent events | 5k per day |
Number of attributes | 1,500k |
Database size | 60 GB |
Average database growth per day | 2 GB |
In this environment, BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server and database take approximately 448 IOPS. BMC recommends up to 600 IOPS.
If multiple Infrastructure Management servers are connected to the same Oracle instance, the IOPS requirement is 600 * number of Infrastructure Management servers.
For example, in an environment with 3 Infrastructure Management servers, the IOPS requirement is 600*3 = 1800 IOPS.
The following tables show the IOPS over time for the database and server.
IOPS of the Infrastructure Management SAP SQL Anywhere database
| Metrics | Value |
|---|---|
| IO Data Bytes/sec | 3,602,277.436 |
| IO Data Operations/sec | 448.489 |
| IO Read Bytes/sec | 196,918.007 |
| IO Write Bytes/sec | 3,405,359.429 |
IOPS of the Infrastructure Management Oracle database
| Tablespace | Reads | Av Reads/s | Av Rd (ms) | Av Blks/Rd | Writes | Av Writes/s | Buffer Waits | Av Buf Wt (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Network bandwidth utilization between a Infrastructure Management Server and Integration Service
In BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server network, the bandwidth is often measured as the amount of data that is carried from the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server to the Integration Service over a specified period of time.
The following values show the network bandwidth utilization between the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server and Integration Service:
- 265 KB per second
- Average: 284 KB per second
- Minimum: 106 KB per second
- Maximum: 461 KB per second
Timing for the Integration Service failover
The following table describes the failover duration from one Integration Service to another.
Failover duration from Integration Service 1 to Integration Service 2
| PATROL Agents | Integration Service load for failover | Integration Service failover duration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instances | Attributes | ||
| 500 | 20k | 260k | 5 minutes to 8 minutes |
| 900 | 40k | 500k | 7 minutes to 12 minutes |
