On a Microsoft Windows 2019 server, a WinCollect agent is installed, which polls events locally. Its profile is set to Maximum EPS and the average EPS is 5000. What is the minimum RAM requirement…

Question

Options

• A8 GB
• B2 GB
• C4 GB
• D6 GB

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  10% (5)
• C
  82% (40)
• D
  6% (3)

Explanation

IBM's official WinCollect sizing documentation specifies 4 GB RAM as the minimum for a Windows Server 2019 host running a WinCollect agent in local polling mode with the Maximum EPS profile - making C correct. Options B (2 GB) and D (6 GB) are simply not thresholds that appear in IBM's documented requirements for this configuration; 2 GB is dangerously undersized for 5000 EPS throughput, and 6 GB is not a recognized minimum tier. Option A (8 GB) is a plausible distractor because more RAM is generally better for high-EPS scenarios, but 8 GB exceeds the minimum - the question asks for the floor, not the recommended headroom.

Memory tip: Associate "4 GB = Max local WinCollect" - both "4" and "Max" are the ceiling of the low tier, helping you remember that the minimum just barely covers Maximum EPS, not that it requires enterprise-grade RAM.
