Virtual Machine Requirements

[Stefey]

Hi all,

I'd like to install Cacti on a VM.
I saw the software requirements :
"Cacti requires that the following software is installed on your system.
- RRDTool 1.0.49 or greater, 1.4+ recommended
- MySQL 5.x or greater
- PHP 5.1 or greater
- Web Server that supports PHP e.g. Apache or IIS"

However, there is no advice about disk space, CPU, RAM, etc...

According to you, are 20GB enough to install Cacti, in adition to plugins like weathermap ? How much GB would you assign to the /var/ partition for Cacti ?

Thank you very much.

I have Cacti in a VM right now under ESXi 6.0 this is what it has.

1 CPU 1 Core (Xeon E5-2640 @ 2.6Ghz) -- CPU load averages around 1%
4 GB Ram (36% used on average)
I have a 4GB Swap partition and 125GB root partition (12.6GB current used) ---- So 20GB would be fine.

I have 69 devices with 787 graph's, with all the plugin's listed in the signature.

I hope this helps.
