Maximo Open Forum

Hi All,

I'm running IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) 9.0.x on OpenShift and I need to increase the CPU/Memory limits of the monitoragent container which runs inside the Manage server bundle pod.

IBM documentation mentions that we can tune server bundle resource limits under ManageWorkspace → Settings, but that setting seems to apply only to the Maximo JVM container (ex: all container). It does not affect the sidecar container monitoragent.

My question:
What is the correct way to override / increase CPU & memory resources for the monitoragent container specifically?

• Is it possible using podTemplates in ManageWorkspace?

• If yes, what is the correct podTemplates name and container name mapping for this sidecar?

• Or is there any other supported method (CR patch / operator override / annotations)?

Any example YAML or guidance would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Yes podTemplates are possible in ManageWorkspace. I haven't tried to adjust the monitoragent resources, but you should be able to do something like below to target the monitoragent of a server bundle with the name ui. If you had cron, mif, etc. you would need to specify this for each. And if you had other rules (such as affinity settings) you would configure those here too. 

  podTemplates:
    - name: ui
      containers:
        - name: monitoragent
          resources:
            requests:
              cpu: 0.05
              memory: 256Mi
            limits:
              cpu: 0.8
              memory: 512Mi
