Hi Brook,
I would setup two applications. One for production and one for
development and one database for each. I wouldn't mix the data from
the production servers and the development servers. You're might want
to change things with the development app and database much more than
your production server. From the licensing you probably aren't wrong
because you get a certain number of data collectors per FA license so
you will probably be about right.
One thing that we've found is that users often underestimate the
amount of data that can be collected into the database. I would really
recommend you to keep an eye on the size of the database and make sure
that the VM has enough disk space. We've found that some customers
have run out of disk space and then had to reload the DB afterwards.
So by step:
1. OK
2. Setup 2 databases. One for production and one for development
3. Setup two applications, production and development using the
respective databases
4. Yep, that sounds good.
Cheers,
Darren
