Capacity Planning & Compute Requirements

Capacity Planning and Compute Requirements

A single Telemetry Collector instance can ingest data from one or more IOS devices.

A single data ingestion pipeline (which is comprised of a Telemetry Collector paired with a Sensor Collector) can handle 19,500 metric records being streamed to it from IOS device(s) every 1 second (or at a less frequent cadence, depending on the user's requirements).

If more than 19,500 records at 1-second streaming are required, multiple data ingestion pipelines (Telemetry Collectors and Sensor Collectors) can be deployed to handle the requirements.

Note: Any additional software running on the virtual machine(s) that house the Telemetry Collector and Sensor Collector will require additional processor and memory resources; the compute requirement specifications above are only for the data ingestion pipeline components.

Solution Engineers can decide whether to deploy the Sensor Collector and Telemetry Collector on a single virtual machine or, as an alternative, they can each be deployed on separate machines that have one-to-one pairing.

The tables below list the default, out-of-the-box telemetry objects for IOS-XE and IOS-XR, including the number of metrics for each object.
