Hardware and System Requirements

Details the hardware sizing, system prerequisites and supported OS versions for deploying the Enterprise Manager server and agents, and the supported GridGain Control Center versions.

This guide outlines the system and hardware requirements for deploying the Enterprise Manager Server and the Enterprise Manager Agent.

Enterprise Manager Server 🖥️

The Enterprise Manager Server is the central component that hosts the UI and stores monitoring data.

Hardware Sizing Guide

Monitored Servers	CPU	Memory (RAM)	Storage (SSD)
50	4 cores	8 GB	200 GB
200	16 cores	32 GB	800 GB
500+	48 cores	96 GB	2000 GB

Tip: Adjust storage size depending on your requirements for metrics retention.

System Requirements

• CPU Architecture: x86-64 and ARM64

• Linux OS with either of the supported container engines

  • Docker with Docker Compose https://docs.docker.com/engine/install

  • Podman with Podman Compose

    • The podman-docker compatibility package is required to enable the docker CLI for Podman. All commands in this guide documented for Docker work similarly with Podman.

Enterprise Manager Agent🕵

The agent must be installed on each MariaDB Server and MaxScale instance you wish to monitor. Below are the supported operating systems.

Supported Platforms for MariaDB Server

MariaDB Server Version	Supported OS (x86_64, ARM64)
10.6, 11.4, 11.8	RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux/Oracle Linux 8, 9, 10 Ubuntu LTS 22.04, 24.04 Debian 11, 12, 13

Supported Platforms for MariaDB MaxScale

MaxScale Version	Supported OS (x86_64, ARM64)
23.02*, 23.08*, 24.02*, 25.01*, 25.10	RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux 8, 9, 10 Ubuntu LTS 22.04, 24.04 Debian 11, 12, 13

* Monitoring and Single Sign-On(SSO) are only supported for MaxScale versions 25.10 and Above

GridGain Control Center

To show GridGain 8 clusters in Enterprise Manager, connect Enterprise Manager to GridGain Control Center. See Add a GridGain 8 Cluster.

Enterprise Manager Version	GridGain Control Center Version	GridGain Version
26.10 and later	2026.2 and later	GridGain 8

Control Center runs on its own host, separate from the Enterprise Manager Server.
