Re: Space Requirements for Enterprise Monitor

[Mark Matthews]

Hi Kurt,

The answer is "it depends" (on a lot of dimensions). However, ignoring query analyzer data volume (which is highly dependent on the application being monitored and how many, and what size queries it generates), Enterprise Monitor would need roughly 2MB/server/hour with nearly all rules scheduled. However, note that it doesn't really make sense to schedule *all* of the rules, and as Philip pointed out, the ultimate disk space will be governed by the purge settings and how they will "cap" the amount of history time-wise that will be kept.
