Sizing Tasks

Why?

Customers

I have so many endpoints, what backend-resources do I need to monitor them & keep records for N months?

Operations

Every X day of the month, we will reboot for all kiosks. How long does it take to clear the event-queue such that we go back to normal monitoring again?

Resources & Processing Time

• These are the typical questions from various stake-holders.
• We answer in terms of the resources needed to support a number of endpoints.
• Estimate of how long it takes to clear a surge in the event-queue.
• Backend resources in terms of (v)CPU, RAM & Storage sizes.
• Processing in terms of ProcessCreate per second since ProcessCreate is the pre-cursor to almost all other system events related to other I/Os.

What are the considerations?

Have a look at the diagram below before listing out what else needs to be measured?

Once you listed out the considerations, need to translate considerations to action-items & then we discuss further.
