Post by dlukinski »

Is there any special procedure for adding CPU cores and increasing RAM for XI VMappliance (one we initially installed from Nagios XI template downloaded)

Not particularly.

We have a sizing guide here:

My rule of thumb is that when XI and all it's services are in a healthy state, your server should have at least 50% more memory than what is being consumed at that point in time.

Here's a presentation on Nagios XI Best Practices:
