Sizing charts and guidelines for data and event management environments
The following tables provide sizing summaries for an environment that incorporates both data collection and event management:
Provided values represent the maximum values recommended for the tested parameter.
Sizing chart for data collection of the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server
Characteristic | Small environment | Medium environment | Large environment |
|---|---|---|---|
Number of devices | 5000 | 10,000 | 20,000 |
Total number of attributes | 300,000 | 600,000 | 1,700,000 |
Total number of monitor instances on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server | 30,000 | 60,000 | 250,000 |
Duration of raw data retention | 3 days | 3 days | 3 days |
Duration of rate retention | 3 months | 3 months | 3 months |
Number of groups | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 |
Number of SLOs | 20 | 40 | 60 |
Sizing chart for event management of the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server
Characteristic | Small environment | Medium environment | Large environment |
|---|---|---|---|
Number of intelligent events per day 1 | 10,000 | 20,000 | 40,000 |
Number of external events per day 1 | 60,000 | 200,000 | 350,000 |
Number of remote cells | 0 | 5 | 10 |
Duration of event retention2 | default | default | default |
1 Rate is based on events that are evenly distributed in a day.

Sizing chart for data collection of the Integration Service
| Characteristic | Small environment | Medium environment | Large environment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum number of monitor instances per Integration Service | 30,000 | 60,000 | 250,000 |
| Number of Integration Services | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Maximum number of PATROL Agents | 500 | 900 | 900 |
Sizing chart for multiple Integration Services running on the same Integration Service host
When multiple Integration Services are running on the same Integration Service host computer, the following sizing chart represents the data for those multiple Integration Services. Each Integration Service process requires 4 GB of memory.
Characteristic | Small environment | Medium environment | Large environment |
|---|---|---|---|
Number of devices | 5000 | 10,000 | 20,000 |
Total number of attributes | 300,000 | 600,000 | 1,700,000 |
Total number of monitor instances on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server | 30,000 | 60,000 | 250,000 |
Duration of raw data retention | 3 days | 3 days | 3 days |
Duration of rate retention | 3 months | 3 months | 3 months |
Number of groups | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 |
Number of SLOs | 20 | 40 | 60 |
| Maximum number of PATROL Agents that can be connected to each of the Integration Service | 900 | 900 | 900 |
Note
When the load of the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server is distributed among Integration Services, BMC recommends a maximum of three Integration Services instances running on a single Integration Service host computer.
Sizing chart for Infrastructure Management consoles
| Characteristic | Small environment | Medium environment | Large environment |
|---|---|---|---|
Concurrent number of users—operator console | 25 | 50 | 100 |
Concurrent number of users—administration console | 1 | 1 | 1 |
