Calculating Storage Requirement
The storage volume requirement is calculated based on performance data collection interval and storing period.
Calculation
The number of servers to be monitored
Short term performance data collection interval (Sec)
Short term performance data storing period (Day)
Long term performance data collection interval (Sec)
Long term performance data storing period (Day)
With onTune default settings for performance data collection intervals and storing period, to monitor 100 servers needs about 2.5GB for each, 250GB in total 1 year after installation of onTune. 70% storage capacity consumed to store short term performance data. Calculate your storage requirement using this experience. However this number is only used for limited purpose, onTune does not guarantee calculated capacity is enough in your environments.
The real requirement of storage volume depends upon the number of servers, CPUs, Processes, server users, number of disks, IO adapters. So this calculation may be different your real requirements. And this calculation only considers storing collected data, you have to consider backup policy.
Network Considerations
onTune modules communicate other onTune modules and databases thru TCP. You should check FIREWALL configurations, and allow using following TCP ports and communication direction.
Connection | Origin IP | Dest. IP | TCP Port (*) | Direction |
Agent -> Manager | IP address of Servers to be monitored | Manager IP | 18893 | oneway |
Manager -> Event Manager | Manager IP | Manager IP | 18894 | oneway |
Manager -> Database | Manager IP | Database IP | 5432 (PostgreSQL default)
3306 (MariaDB default) |
oneway |
Event Manager -> Database | Event Manager IP | Database IP | 5432 (PostgreSQL default) | oneway |
Viewer -> Database | User PC | Database IP | 3306 (MariaDB default) | oneway |
Event Viewer -> Database | User PC | Database IP | oneway |
Comment (*) TCP port settings may be changed. The connection port to database is the listening port of the database engine.
TCP Port: If you install onTune base packages including database such as PostgreSQL or MariaDB, default listening port – 5432 for PostgreSQL or 3306 for MariaDB – will be used. Confirm availability of this port with your network administrator. If these default database listening ports are in use for other purposes, please  change the listening port, and separately install the database.
