2.2.1.2 How to estimate the amount of space required for the log data ("Troubleshoot" directory)

Agents require disk space for a log to temporarily hold the data that is collected.

The size of this log depends on the number of instances of the resources being managed.

Use the following procedure to make an estimate:

Point

Log data (Troubleshoot) contains more detailed operating system information collected at 1-minute intervals than the information stored in the Manager database, which is collected at 10-minute intervals. Use this information when it is necessary to check more detailed information.

Determine the retention period, taking the usable disk size and the usage of log data into account.

Procedure for estimating the log data

  1. Estimate the number of records acquired in one collection.

    Log data

    Use the estimating log data table below to calculate the number of number of log data records acquired in one collection (TR). First multiply the number of instances of resources to be managed by the log data coefficient shown in the table for the resource. Next add together the results of these calculations for all of the resources to obtain TR.


  2. Use the following formulas to calculate the amount of space required from the number of records obtained in a single collection operation.

    Log data[MB] = (TR * 0.5[MB]) * (Retention period + 1)[days]

Log data estimation

Point

Log data (Troubleshoot) requires the retention period plus one additional day because it also holds the data that is being stored on any given day. The default retention period for log data is 7 days.
