Why is there multiple sizing for Monitoring node ?

[dev-mansonthomas]

Hi,

I was discovering the template and found that there's multiple sizing option for the monitoring node.

pubsubplus-aws-ha-quickstart/templates/solace-master.template

Line 198 in 26cae87

MonitorNodeInstanceType:

My understanding (I'm still new to Solace), is that the monitoring node load doesn't grow with the load on the broker.

Any reason to have more resources on the monitoring node ?

Hi @dev-mansonthomas , correct that monitoring node load doesn't grow with the load on the broker.
For production, adding 1-2GB extra memory is generally always recommended. Also for upgrades it would be good that there is more RAM and disk space for future use.
As you may already know it, the minimum resource requirements are available from https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/SW-Broker-Specific-Config/System-Resource-Requirements.htm?Highlight=resource#res-req-container
