System Requirements

factry historian system requirements disk required disk space starts at 100gb and should be expanded based on expected write load it is recommended to have a separate block device / disk for influxdb data we recommend a root partition of 50gb the required disk space for the influxdb disk varies per installation a consistent 1 000 writes per second for 1 year will use approximately 60gb this number can vary based on the collected data but can serve as a general guideline so based on your expected write load and retention policies you can estimate the required disk space system aside for the writes per second the other main bottleneck for influxdb is the query complexity and frequency load writes / second queries / second low < 5 000 < 5 moderate < 100 000 < 25 high >= 100 000 >= 25 low cpu 4 cores memory 8 gb ram database disk >= 500 iops moderate cpu 8 cores memory 16 gb ram database disk >= 1 000 iops high high loads should be tested before being deployed to production cpu 16 cores memory 32 gb ram database disk >= 1 000 iops required disk space starts at 100gb and should be expanded based on expected write load influxdb factry historian requires influxdb to be installed download influxdb install instructions once installed make sure to setup an admin user and enable authentication ! collector system requirements recommendations per collector cpu 1 core ram 512 mb disk space at least 5gb of free disk space for buffering operating system windows or linux
