It would be helpful if you could shed a bit more light on your use case and collectd set-up (collection frequency etc) to also look at some of your alternatives and options.</P> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:59:49 GMT mporath_splunk 2018-02-28T22:59:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Anyone-have-a-practical-guide-to-metric-collection-performance/m-p/325595#M60515 <P>All, </P> <P>I am expecting to need to collect up to 1 billion collectD metrics per second for a Cloud install we're helping support. Anyone have a scoping guide for how many ref indexers I might need? </P> <P>thanks<BR /> -Daniel </P> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:25:13 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Anyone-have-a-practical-guide-to-metric-collection-performance/m-p/325595#M60515 daniel333 2018-02-28T19:25:13Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Anyone-have-a-practical-guide-to-metric-collection-performance/m-p/325596#M60516 <P>Hi Daniel, 1b metrics per second sounds a lot higher than most use cases I've seen so far, and would require a significant investment into indexers.
