Introduction
We recommend the following virtual machine sizes:
For nGeniusPULSE without SNMP Polling (only Synthetic Testing and Smart Edge Monitoring): model J
For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP Polling with up to 2500 monitored elements: model K
For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP Polling > 2500 monitored elements: model M
Make sure you have sufficient rights to deploy a New Virtual Machines and Edit Settings.
Solution
nGeniusPulse Small System
This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 50 nPoints and no infrastructure monitoring.
All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.
| Virtual Machine Settings | nGeniusPULSE Server |
|---|---|
| Type | J |
| CPU | 4 |
| Memory | 48GB |
| Network adapter 1 | 1x VMXNET3 |
| Hard disk 1 (see 1) | 86GB |
| Hard disk 2 (see 1) | 12GB |
| Hard disk 3 (see 1) | 64GB |
| SCSI controller (see 2) | LSI Logic Parallel |
| Guest OS (see 3) | CentOS 7 |
(1) It is important to respect the order and sizes of the hard disks. All hard disks can be thin provisioned. Disk 2 and 3 performace must be no less than 300 IOPS; choose your datastore accordingly.
(2) Recommended.
(3) For information only; the operarating system is part of the iso and will be installed with the software.
nGeniusPULSE Medium System
This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 250 nPoints and less than 2500 monitorred elements.
All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.
