We currently have Orion distributed as follows:
Main Engine (hosting NPM SLX, APM300, NCM, IPSla) + 3 Add'l NPM Pollers + 1 Add'l Web Console, with separate SQL Database server.
I understand that SolarWindsAPM can now run as a standalone product.
How can we determine if APM is consuming enough resources and warrants being migrated ?
Would it mean that users who currently access Orion NPM/APM etc via our Add'l Web console, would then need to access a separate web interface to view APM ?
The APM Admin guide, mentions that you clone your DB in order to separate NPM and APM. Does this mean if you currently monitor, poll NODES in NPM which also have components in APM being monitored, that these nodes must now be polled by both NPM and APM engines, and stored in each of their respective, and separate databases ?
If given choice to migrate APM or NCM to dedicated server/engine, which would make most sense ?
thanks in advance, any and all insight/ideas are welcomed.
