Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This depends on the amount of hosts and services you like to monitor.
It's recommended to use SSD as main storage.
A rough guide:
- 32 GB RAM
- 16 CPU Cores
- 500 GB space

Most of the translations are handled by the Angular frontend. However, some parts of the application are generated on the server, such as reports, emails, pdf or zip files.
Translation files are located at resources/locales/.
First of all, you need to extract all used translations from the application.
oitc i18n extract --exclude vendor,tests --extract-core no --paths /opt/openitc/frontend/src,/opt/openitc/frontend/plugins
This command will create (or update) the file resources/locales/default.pot, which holds all strings of the
application that needs to be translated.
In case you want to add a new language, please use this file as starting point.
In case you want to modify or update an existing language, you should merge the new created default.pot
into the existing language file. You can use the oitc sync_lang --lang <langue-key> command for this.
oitc sync_lang --lang de_DE
The command will keep already existing translations, add missing ones or remove deleted messages.
The new file will be stored at /opt/openitc/frontend/resources/locales/NEW_de_DE.po.
You can now start translating. Every record with an empty msgstr "" needs to be translated.
Once your finished, you can overwrite the current file resources/locales/de_DE/default.po.
mv /opt/openitc/frontend/resources/locales/NEW_de_DE.po /opt/openitc/frontend/resources/locales/de_DE/default.po
AI can be a helping hand to make the process of creating or updating translations less painful. Please keep in mind that you have to do this in chunks, as you can not paste a file with more than 4000 lines into a Chatbot and expect to get a decent result.
Prompt example:
I have open a language file in PO format. The msgid is the english source message. Do NEVER change the msgid.
Take the english message from msgid, translate it into German, and write it to msgstr. Please make sure to escape double
quots (like `\"`).
`{0}` or `{1}` are placeholders, please keep them.
The context is a IT monitoring system. A "Host" is a device that gets monitored and "Services" are services running on
the host.
