Machine Agent Resources for increased metrics ingestion limit

Hi,

We have 4 Mission Critical MQ servers that have had a more than doubling of the number of queues added that need to be monitored by the MQ Extension. This means the currently configured metrics limit of 3000 is insufficient. 

We have added additional resources to all 4 servers (i.e. CPU and memory) and want to increase the agent metrics limit to ca 8-10k. 

Q: What increase in agent memory do we need to safely handle this increase with at least 20-30% buffer headroom?

Thanks
