System Requirements
Monitoring and Diagnostics role
Before installing vWorkspace Monitoring and Diagnostics, ensure that your system meets the following minimum
hardware and software requirements.
The hardware needed to run vWorkspace Monitoring and Diagnostics can vary widely depending on a number of
factors, including:
The number and type of agents that are being used
The persistence and data-rollup policies
Agent configuration settings
You should not consider doing a production implementation without conducting a proper scoping and sizing
exercise with a qualified Dell Inc. representative. You can arrange for a sizing analysis by contacting your Dell
Inc. Sales Representative. At a minimum, you are required to provide hardware matching the specifications in
this chapter.
For detailed Foglight Platform System Requirements refer to:
http://edocs.quest.com/foglight/575/doc/Core/SystemRequirements/index.php.
Server components and tiers
Each Management Server installation consists of two components:
The Foglight Management Server
The Foglight Database Repository
Setting up vWorkspace Monitoring and Diagnostics to run both of its components on the same machine is known
as a single-tier installation. Using separate machines for each component is known as a multi-tier installation.
Whichever configuration you choose, each component requires its own specifically-dedicated resources. To help
facilitate sizing, the resources required to support each component are listed separately
The requirements listed below are for the single-tier installation.
Single-tier hardware requirements

Table 11. Single-tier hardware requirements: 64-bit platforms
CPU 4-way 2.4 GHz CPUs-one of the following:

1 quad core
2 dual core
4 single core
RAM 12 GB in total:
6 GB for Management Server (4 GB for Heap,
2 GB for Java Virtual Machine)
4 GB for database repository
2 GB for operating system
Storage If using built-in embedded database repository:
120 GB, 10000 RPM hard disk or better
If using external database repository:
For Management Server: 40 GB, 7200 RPM
hard disk or better
For Database Repository: 80 GB, 10000 RPM
hard disk or better
Agent Manager resource requirements

Foglight Agent Manager uses minimal system resources, whether running on a monitored host or monitoring
remotely. The amount used depends on a variety of factors including the number of agents running on the
monitored host, the amount of data being collected, and whether the Management Server is running.

complexity of the technology being
monitored, and Agent Manager configuration
Average is 180 MB; ranges between 50 MB
and 330 MB typically

encounter a rendering or navigation problem, we recommend trying one of the validated browsers to see
if that resolves your issue. Dell will only provide support for browser issues that can be reproduced on a
validated browser.
