There are lots of factors that determine the system health of a server. The hardware capabilities - CPU, memory or disk - is an important one, but also the server load - number of devices (Nodes to be polled, updated, audited, synchronised), number of products (NMIS, OAE, opCharts, opHA - each running different processes), number of concurrent users.

MongoDB memory usage

MongoDB, in its default configuration, will use will use the larger of either 256 MB or ½ of (ram – 1 GB) for its cache size.

MongoDB cache size can be changed by adding the cacheSizeGB argument to the /etc/mongod.conf configuration file, as shown below.

Code Block
storage:
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb
  journal:
    enabled: true
  wiredTiger:
      engineConfig:
         cacheSizeGB: 1

Here is an interesting information regarding how MongoDB reserves memory for internal cache and WiredTiger, the underneath technology. Also some adjustment that can be done: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/148395/mongodb-using-too-much-memory

Server examples

Two servers are compared in this section.

  • Master Primary only have one node, but more than 400 poller nodes. opHA process is what will require more CPU and memory usage. 
  • Poller have more more than 500 nodes. nmis process will require more CPU and memory, for polling the information for all the nodes.
