Parameters Used for Hardware Sizing

When sizing hardware, the following considerations should be taken into account:

In Number of Foglight for DB2 LUW Agents Per Management Server , the number of agents depends on the amount of memory available to the Management Server. Memory size is set in the following file:
Management Server 5.6.2 and later —
File location:
...Quest_Software\Foglight|config\server.config
Property name: server.vm.option1

Determining Requirements

First assess the size of the environment to be monitored. Then use the size of the monitored environment to identify how many Foglight for DB2 LUW agents can be hosted on an Agent Manager and a Management Server.

Determining the Size of the Monitored Environment

Environments are categorized into small, medium, and large based on the concurrent SQLs load on instances, databases, and members. To find out the number of concurrent SQLs, run the following SQL statement:

500

5,000

> 20,000

Now you can determine the number of Agent Managers and Management Servers you require.
