Resource Sizing for Performance Optimization and Tuning Recommendations
Last updated on 22 November, 2023The following table provides guidelines on provisioning resources for LogicMonitor components to have optimum performance and reliable monitoring for the Kubernetes cluster:
| Collector Size | Medium | Large |
| Maximum Resources with 1 collector replica | 1300 resources | 3600 resources |
| Argus and CSC Version | Argus Version – v7.1.2 CSC Version – v3.1.2 | Argus Version – v7.1.2 CSC Version – v3.1.2 |
| Collector Version | GD 33.001 | GD 33.002 |
| Recommended Argus limits & Requests | CPU Requests – 0.256 core CPU Limits – 0.5 core | CPU Requests – 0.5 core CPU Limits – 1 core |
| Memory Requests – 250MB Memory Limits – 500MB | Memory Requests – 500MB Memory Limits – 1GB | |
Recommended Collectorset Controller limits & Requests | CPU Requests – 0.02 core CPU Limits – 0.05 core | CPU Requests – 0.02 core CPU Limits – 0.05 core |
| Memory Requests – 150MB Memory Limits – 200MB | Memory Requests – 150MB Memory Limits – 200MB |
Example of Collector Configuration for Resource Sizing
Let’s say you have about 3100 resources to monitor. You need a large collector single replica with the compatible versions as displayed in the above table to monitor your resources. You can configure the collector size and replica count in the configuration.yaml file as follows:
argus:
collector:
size: medium
replicas: 1Note: In the size field, you can add the required collector size (Large or Medium) and in the replicas field, you can add the number of required collector replicas.
Specifying Resource Limits for Collectorset-Controller and Argus Pod
You can enforce central processing unit (CPU) and memory constraints on your Collectorset-Controller, Argus Pod, and Collector.
An example of the collectorset-controller.resources parameter displayed in the following lm-container configuration yaml file:
collectorset-controller:
resources:
limits:
cpu: "1000m"
memory: "1Gi"
ephemeral-storage: "100Mi"
requests:
cpu: "1000m"
memory: "1Gi"
ephemeral-storage: "100Mi"An example of the argus.resources parameter displays in the following lm-container configuration yaml file:
argus:
resources:
limits:
cpu: "1000m"
memory: "1Gi"
ephemeral-storage: "100Mi"
requests:
cpu: "1000m"
memory: "1Gi"
ephemeral-storage: "100Mi"
