Capacity Requirements Type Number Location Agent-monitored computers Agentless Exception Monitoring (AEM) computers Agentless-managed computers UNIX- or Linux-based computers Network devices .NET applications monitored via Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Step 2. Use Table A-4 to record one management group. Add others only if needed for specific scenarios. A-4. Determining the Need for Additional Management Groups Scenario Yes/no Number Scaling
