This is a broad estimation of the performance characteristics created by the object model (no archiving or realtime changes) and should only be used for guidance, actual results are specific to the user’s system, network, use cases and other components installed.

Archive Performance

As an estimation of performance, a Parent-Child Node system has the capacity to archive 1,000,000 timeseries samples per second to a single data store, generated by the child Node.

This is a broad estimation of the performance limitations and should only be used for guidance, actual results are specific to the user’s system, network, use cases and other components installed. Memory consumption is largely defined by peak loads saturating the timeseries buffer maximum values setting. It is recommended to use faster disks for machines that host high throughput Nodes and MongoDB instances.

Realtime Performance

As an estimation of performance, the Node-to-Node communication has the capacity for 50,000-100,000 timeseries samples updating per second on the following standard hardware, on a low latency network environment (LAN, latency <50ms):
