.. _plugin_requirements: Requirements ------------ The StackLight InfluxDB-Grafana plugin 1.0.0 has the following requirements: +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Requirement** | **Version/Comment** | +=======================+========================================================================+ | Disk space | The plugin’s specification requires provisioning at least 15 GB of disk| | | space for the system, 10 GB for the logs, and 30 GB for the database. | | | Therefore, the installation of the plugin will fail if there is less | | | than 55 GB of disk space available on the node. | +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mirantis OpenStack | 8.0, 9.x | +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Hardware configuration| The hardware configuration (RAM, CPU, disk(s)) required by this plugin | | | depends on the size of your cloud environment and other factors like | | | the retention policy. An average setup would require a quad-core | | | server with 8 GB of RAM and access to a 500-1000 IOPS disk. For | | | sizeable production deployments it is strongly recommended to use a | | | disk capable of 1000+ IOPS like an SSD. | | | See the `InfluxDB Hardware Sizing Guide | | | `_ | | | for additional sizing information. | | | | | | It is highly recommended that you use a dedicated disk for your data | | | storage. Otherwise, the InfluxDB-Grafana Plugin will use the root | | | file system by default. | +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
