Are additional system requirements needed for APM Insight monitoring?
Quick clarification on system requirements when implementing APM Insight Java/.NET Agent monitoring.
FAQ
Q: Are there additional system requirements for APM Insight?
A: No. Standard Applications Manager system requirements are sufficient.
Q: Will the agent impact my application's performance?
A: The agent introduces minimal overhead due to bytecode instrumentation. No additional hardware is required on your application server.
Q: Will disk/database size increase?
A: Possibly — if you configure lower trace thresholds (capturing more traces), disk and database usage may increase. This is subjective based on your configuration.
Q: Are there any best practices to follow?
A: Yes. Refer to the Best Practices Guide — the same guide applies to APM Insight monitoring.
Summary
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Your Application (where agent is installed) |
Minimal overhead from instrumentation. No additional requirements. |
| Applications Manager Server | Standard system requirements are sufficient. Extra disk/DB space may be needed if using lower trace thresholds. |
