current production environment

garym over 7 years ago

Hi,
We are looking at adding an additional 25000 users into Appian production environment of which only 3-5% may actually be logging into they system per month.
Is there a way to tell whether our existing Appian production environment is able to handle this extra amount of users and if not, what is our next level of hardware (memory and CPU, etc.) to live up to.

Hi Gary, you can look at your latest Appian Health Check run to see your average logins per hour and your CPU utilization on the dashboard tab. You can use that information to extrapolate the increase…

Hi Gary, you can look at your latest Appian Health Check run to see your average logins per hour and your CPU utilization on the dashboard tab. You can use that information to extrapolate the increase in CPU with your increase in user load to determine if you have the available hardware. This will be a quick sanity check.

Alternatively, a more definitive would be to run a performance test in a environment with the same hardware as production which simulated user load. You could run a health check afterwards with a time period of the day of the performance test. The numbers for CPU and memory on the health check would tell you if you would be able to handle that user load.
