Do we need to create file systems for oneagent directories on linux ?

Hello,

We need to install OneAgent on a linux server and the client asks for prerequisites of installation, so i took a look to the documentation and we find the table describing storage recommanded for every directory :

	Linux (x86)	Default directory
Size of installation	~1 GB	/opt/dynatrace/oneagent
Persistent configuration	~5 MB	/var/lib/dynatrace/oneagent/agent/config
Temporary files, runtime configuration	200 MB	/var/lib/dynatrace/oneagent/agent/runtime
Logs	1 GB	/var/log/dynatrace/oneagent 2
Crash reports, memory dumps	3 GB	/var/lib/dynatrace/oneagent/datastorage
Additional space required for updates	1.9 GB
Total	7.1 GB

Does that mean that we have to create File systems for /opt/dynatrace/ , /var/lib/dynatrace/ and /var/lib/dynatrace/ ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Those would be created during installation. But maybe, you wants to isolate them in differentes volume groups.

And if /var/log/dynatrace is full, it would not be touching /var or root.

Best regards
