Check how much space nmis8/var is currently using; minus the nmis8/var/events directory. We will keep the nmis8/var/events directory on a hard drive because it contains stateful event history; we don't want to loose these if the server is rebooted.

[root@TEST var]# pwd
/usr/local/nmis8/var
[root@TEST var]# du -hs
2.6G .
[root@TEST events]# pwd
/usr/local/nmis8/var/events
[root@TEST events]# du -hs
1.7G . |
In this example we notice that the nmis8/var directory minus the nmis8/var/events directory is approximately 900MB. It appears that a RAM disk of 1GB would be sufficient.
How much RAM is available?

[root@TEST events]# free

In the example above there appears to be 11GB of RAM available.
