System requirements

  • Ubuntu Linux 64 bit (22.04, 20.04, 18.04), Debian Linux 64 bit (11, 10)
  • 2 CPU cores (x86-64 or arm64)
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 40 GB space

Production system sizing

Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This depends on the amount of hosts and services you like to monitor. Please keep in mind that a monitoring system usually will create more I/O than your KVM farm!
A rough guide:
  • 16 CPU cores (high clock speeds are preferred)
  • 32 GB RAM
  • 500 GB SSD
