Disk Space Requirements

I've got a Xymon VM server that's monitoring 100 hosts, mostly 
collecting PowerShell Client data from Windows clients.
Disk = 10G and has filled to 86% after 3 years.  I'll probably need to 
expand it a little bit one of these days.
CPU = 1 core, utilization hovers around 1%
Ram = 2G, utilization hovers around 15%

I've got another Xymon server running at a client location on a 
Raspberry Pi.  It's been running for 2 years with no trouble.

I had one running on AWS once, but had trouble with backups and 
migration, so I abandoned AWS.

The beauty of Xymon is that it can run very lean.  I normally use Ubuntu 
headless server, but I got it working easily on Raspbian too.

I'm 4/20 gig after 495 days of uptime. Graphs for 30 hosts.  I have 
data from an older server that started probably 2006.

Xymon is not disk intensive, it's all text and RRD.

    Good morning!

    I am attempting to spin up my first Xymon server and would like
    advice on system requirements, primarily disk space required but
    CPU count and RAM would also be greatly be appreciated.  Looking
    at initially monitoring 20 hosts and would like some room to
    grow.  Most likely will be running Xymon on FreeBSD.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!
