I was very intrigued until I poked around the github repos and noticed the server specs Etsy was using to analyze the 250k metrics.

Oculus recommended setup (found at https://github.com/etsy/oculus):

  * ElasticSearch
    * At least 8GB RAM
    * Quad Core  Xeon 5620 CPU or comparable
    * 1GB disk space
    * two ElasticSearch servers in separate clusters
  * a cluster of Worker boxes running Resque 
    * worker master runs redis
    * additional resque worker boxes (and potentially slaves)
    * At least 12GB RAM
    * Quad Core Xeon 5620 CPU or comparable
    * 1GB disk space
It'd be nice if there was a more established baseline set of server specs to get up and running. While many of us aspire to be at Etsy level monitoring, we're just not there.



I'll definitely have a look at doing that - the initial specs were designed around the metric volumes we use the tools for, but I realise that might not be practical for smaller workloads :)
