Deployment sizing worksheets
It is important to estimate the size of your deployment correctly because the steps to follow and the design elements vary depending on the size of the deployment. Review sizing and scalability considerations for each component to understand the capacity requirements.
Important
If you are also deploying TrueSight Infrastructure Management, read Sizing and scalability considerations for Infrastructure Management to understand the scaling and sizing requirements of the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server, Integration Service, and monitoring solutions.
Sizing worksheet for the Presentation Server
Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Number of tenants | |
| Number of Infrastructure Management servers to connect | |
| Number of App Visibility servers to connect (maximum of one App Visibility portal can be assigned to BmcRealm or a tenant) |
Sizing worksheet for the App Visibility Manager or Synthetic TEA Agent components
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| App Visibility database size | |
| Number of App Visibility agents | |
| Number of synthetic TEA Agents | |
| Number of App Visibility collectors |
Deployment architecture worksheet
After sizing the deployment, select the appropriate deployment and record the number of servers required to support the deployment. For guidance on selecting a deployment architecture, consult the Deployment options for Operations Management.
To plan the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management deployment, see Planning considerations and worksheets for Infrastructure Management. To plan the BMC Atrium Single Sign-On deployment, see
Planning for BMC Atrium SSO
.
App Visibility agent worksheet
Plan your sources of active application data or end user experience monitoring. For information about deploying App Visibility agents, see Operations Management basic deployment with App Visibility Manager.
| Application or end user to monitor | Monitoring source | App Visibility agent |
|---|---|---|
To plan the BMC PATROL Agent deployment and other monitoring solutions, see Planning considerations and worksheets for Infrastructure Management.
Synthetic TEA agent worksheet
Plan your sources of synthetic transaction data. For information about deploying Synthetic TEA agents, see Operations Management basic deployment with App Visibility Manager and the Synthetic TEA Agent.
| End user and application to monitor | Monitoring source | Synthetic TEA agent |
|---|---|---|
Integration worksheet
Identify the integrations that you want to enable with the Presentation Server.
| Integration and version | System requirements | Other considerations |
|---|---|---|
|
To plan additional integrations with the Infrastructure Management server, see Planning considerations and worksheets for Infrastructure Management.
System requirements worksheet
Consult the system requirements for each BMC TrueSight Operations Management component product to determine the values for your implementation.
For information about BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management system requirements, see System requirements and product compatibility for Infrastructure Management.
Hardware worksheet
Record how each system will be used, such as Atrium Single Sign-On, Presentation Server, App Visibility proxy, HA, DR, and so on, and the system requirements based on sizing or other deployment decisions. For BMC TrueSight App Visibility, see Sizing App Visibility Manager and Synthetic TEA Agent components for recommended hardware configurations. For supported OS languages, see Language information.
