The needed storage space for the given retention (the retention is set via `-retentionPeriod` command-line flag at `vmstorage`) can be extrapolated from disk space usage in a test run. For example, if the storage space usage is 10GB after a day-long test run on a production workload, then it will need at least `10GB*100=1TB` of disk space for `-retentionPeriod=100d` (100-days retention period).

* Query latency can be reduced by increasing the number of `vmstorage` nodes and/or by increasing RAM and CPU resources per each `vmselect` node.
|

* The total number of CPU cores needed for all the `vminsert` nodes can be calculated from the ingestion rate: `CPUs = ingestion_rate / 100K`.
|

* The `-rpc.disableCompression` command-line flag at `vminsert` nodes can increase ingestion capacity at the cost of higher network bandwidth usage between `vminsert` and `vmstorage`.

## What is high cardinality?
|
||||
|
||||
High cardinality usually means a high number of [active time series](#what-is-active-time-series). High cardinality may lead to high memory usage and/or to a high percentage of [slow inserts](#what-is-slow-insert). The source of high cardinality is usually a label with a large number of unique values, which presents a big share of the ingested time series. The solution is to identify and remove the source of high cardinality with the help of [/api/v1/status/tsdb](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#tsdb-stats).

|

## What is a slow insert?
|
||||
|
||||
VictoriaMetrics maintains in-memory cache for mapping of [active time series](#what-is-active-time-series) into internal series ids. The cache size depends on the available memory for VictoriaMetrics in the host system. If the information about all the active time series doesn't fit the cache, then VictoriaMetrics needs to read and unpack the information from disk on every incoming sample for time series missing in the cache. This operation is much slower than the cache lookup, so such an insert is named a `slow insert`. A high percentage of slow inserts on the [official dashboard for VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#monitoring) indicates a memory shortage for the current number of [active time series](#what-is-active-time-series). Such a condition usually leads to a significant slowdown for data ingestion and to significantly increased disk IO and CPU usage. The solution is to add more memory or to reduce the number of [active time series](#what-is-active-time-series). The `/api/v1/status/tsdb` page can be helpful for locating the source of high number of active time seriess – see [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#tsdb-stats).

* `-storage.maxDailySeries` - limits the number of time series that can be added during the last day. Useful for limiting daily [churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate).
|

|

Both limits can be set simultaneously. If any of these limits is reached, then incoming samples for new time series are dropped. A sample of dropped series is put in the log with `WARNING` level.

VictoriaMetrics [exposes](#monitoring) `vm_slow_*` metrics such as `vm_slow_row_inserts_total` and `vm_slow_metric_name_loads_total`, which could be used
|

as an indicator of low amounts of RAM. It is recommended increasing the amount of RAM on the node with VictoriaMetrics in order to improve
|
||||
ingestion and query performance in this case.
