Data sheet

The information in this page is data that is obtained from internal testing. Actual performance may vary depending on your deployment environment.

The following tables shows the sizing synopses for a Reporting environment that incorporates performance data collection, impact management and event management:

Note

The below provided values represent the maximum values required for the tested parameter.

Sizing chart for event data collection (Oracle and SQL Server)

Characteristic	Small environment	Medium environment	Large environment
Number of events per day	100 K	200 K	300 K

Sizing chart for performance data collection (Oracle Enterprise and Standard database)

Characteristic	Small environment	Medium environment	Large environment
Number of devices	3 K	6 K	10 K
Total number of attributes with 5 minutes polling cycle / 1 minutes polling cycle	50 K / 10 K	250 K / 80 K	600 K / 120 K
STATS data retention	7 days	7 days	7 days
RATE data retention	90 days	90 days	90 days
HOURLY data retention	90 days	90 days	90 days
DAILY data retention	400 days	400 days	400 days

Sizing chart for performance data collection (SQL Server Standard Edition)

Characteristic	Small environment	Medium environment
Number of devices	3 K	6 K
Total number of attributes with 5 minutes polling cycle / 1 minutes polling cycle	50 K / 10 K	250 K / 50 K

Total number of attributes with 5 minutes polling cycle / 1 minutes polling cycle	50 K / 10 K	250 K / 66 K	600 K / 120 K
STATS data retention	7 days	7 days	7 days
RATE data retention	90 days	90 days	90 days
HOURLY data retention	90 days	90 days	90 days
DAILY data retention	400 days	400 days	400 days

Notes

For large environment, BMC recommends to use Enterprise Edition with partitioning for Oracle or SQL Server according the database you choose. Report Engine installed with Enterprise Edition with partitioning utilizes partitioning feature for storing the fact data. The fact data tables are partitioned on the date column and separate partitions are created for each day’s data. This enhances the performance for purging and summarization of data.
All performance data collection readings are obtained with default 4 stats data threads. For more information, see Scaling the performance data transfer job

Sizing chart for impact data collection (Oracle and SQL Server)

Characteristic	Small environment	Medium environment	Large environment
Number of Configuration items	3 K	6 K	10 K
Impact data retention	400 days	400 days	400 days

Sizing chart for memory configuration (MaxHeap metrics) for Report Engine

The Report Engine application is automatically allocated memory as per the table, at the time of installation.

Characteristic	Small environment (less than 8 GB RAM)	Medium environment (more than or equal to 8 GB and less than 16 GB RAM)	Large environment (more than or equal to 16 GB RAM)
MinSize (MB)	1200	2048	2048
MaxHeap (MB)	2650	6144	12288

For information on setting the memory parameters manually, see Setting memory parameters manually.

Sizing chart for SGA of Reporting database (Oracle)

Characteristic	Small environment	Medium environment	Large environment
System Global Area (SGA)	6 GB	12 GB	24 GB

Notes

Total Attributes is the product of attribute multiplied by each number of unique monitor instances it collects data for.
Sizing of Total attributes is based on 1 and 5 minutes interval of data points in BMC ProactiveNet 9.5. Prior to BMC ProactiveNet 9.5, 5 minutes was default polling interval whereas in BMC ProactiveNet 9.5, 1 minute can be the least polling interval depending on patrol agent configuration. Performance data load on Report Engine varies depending upon the polling cycle interval.
Performance may vary depending on the retention period.
For more information about memory configuration, see Performance-tuning.
