SQL SENTRY COMPONENTS
SQL Sentry Client computer
Windows version from supported list below
Microsoft .NET 4.5 (included in the setup package)
Minimum Single 1.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM
SQL Sentry Monitoring Service computer
Windows version from supported list below
Microsoft .NET 4.5 (included in the setup package)
Minimum Dual 1.6 GHz CPUs, or 1.6 GHz multi-core CPU, 1 GB RAM
SQL Sentry Database

Minimum Dual 1.6 GHz CPUs, or 1.6 GHz multi-core CPU, 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM when running
both Event Manager and Performance Advisor)
Disk Space: 3GB (8GB when running both Event Manager and Performance Advisor)
IMPORTANT: These system requirements are the minimum recommended requirements for a
standard 5-server installation. When monitoring more than 5 servers with SQL Sentry,
additional RAM and disk space may be needed for the database server. See the SQL Sentry
Overhead Analysis document and the Performance Advisor Data Capacity Planning topic for
more details.
NOTE: For performance reasons, it is not recommended that the SQL Sentry Client, Monitoring
Service, or SQL Server (including the instance housing the SQL Sentry Database) be run
simultaneously on the same single CPU computer. However, the Monitoring Service may perform
satisfactorily on one CPU if there are no other CPU intensive programs or services operating on
the same system, such as SQL Server. Additional factors include the number of instances being
monitored and the number of objects on those instances.
