Server Replacement

[pasgalbarra]

Hi Community,

A client had had a lot of issue with performance on the current server, we don’t understand what the root cause of this is and perhaps having higher spec server than we currently have would help, this is te propousal:

Proposed Server Replacement	Proposed Server reference
DL360 Gen10 Plus 1U Server	DL360 Gen10 Plus 16c 512GB 4 x 1.2TB HDD#1

Is it possible to get an assessment of whether this is suitable or not?  Any advice here is welcome?

Thanks

Before considering the server-specs as sufficient or not you need a monitoring what happens when on the server and when is the performance too low as being satisfying.

In the first step a closer monitoring of the qmc and the windows task-manager should already provide valuable hints what going on. A following step might be to look within the various log-files of Qlik and Windows especially the event- and performance-logs.

With the resulting insights you would be able to optimize the biggest bottlenecks which may really to less RAM and/or CPU power but also various misconfiguration on the OS/VM/Qlik and/or a rather bad designed applications or ...

Hello @pasgalbarra

i would check at this page https://community.qlik.com/t5/Scalability/gh-p/qlik-scalability

This team publishes the best CPUs etc time to time it also gives you an overview on what to think about when you want to scale up.

If you say you don't understand the root cause, have you checked the engine logs of Qlik Sense to check for any engine warings / errors on Memory and CPU usage?

You can also use the App Metadata Analyzer to better understand your app utilization. https://adminplaybook.qlik-poc.com/docs/tooling/app_metadata_analyzer.html
