Database Considerations

As the managed environment grows larger, more database activity can be expected. The product databases grow in size based on product usage, potentially consuming 30 GB or more, depending on the maintenance that is being done. We recommend the following general rule for data retention: for every 1000 machines in your monitored environment, increase the poll interval by 300 seconds.

Note: Using a dedicated standalone system for the database can improve its performance. Keep the database close to other CA Server Automation components on the network, for example, on the same subnet, to improve response times.
