Configure Ops Manager to Monitor Large Deployments

On this page

  • Allocate more RAM to Ops Manager Hosts
  • Improve Monitoring Ingestion

To monitor deployments with more than 2,000 hosts located in globally-distributed datacenters, configure your Ops Manager instance with these advanced settings.

  1. Open /opt/mongodb/mms/conf/mms.conf in your preferred text editor.

  2. Find a line where the JAVA_MMS_UI_OPTS variable defines the -Xms, -Xmx, and -Xmn parameters.

  3. Update the -Xms and -Xmx values from the default of 4352 MB to 8192 MB or more if the hosts have extra free memory.

  4. Update the -Xmn value from the default of 1500 MB to a quarter of the value that you specified for -Xms and -Xmx.

To learn about how to resolve this error in greater detail, see our troubleshooting entry on the OutOfMemoryError

Update app settings on all Ops Manager hosts to improve monitoring ingestion:

  1. Open /opt/mongodb/mms/conf/conf-mms.properties in your preferred text editor.

  2. Add the following properties:
