[Xymon] Disk Space Requirements

[Kris Springer]

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.
