# System requirements
* Ubuntu LTS or Debian
* 2 CPU cores (x86-64)
* 4 GB RAM
* 60 GB space
### Production system sizing
Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This depends on the amount of hosts
and services you like to monitor.
It's recommended to use SSD as main storage.
A rough guide:
* 32 GB RAM
* 16 CPU Cores
* 500 GB space
