Selecting Number Of Machines During Installation
When you are installing longitude it will ask you to specify the number of machines you will be monitoring. The default number is 100. If you plan on monitoring more increase this number. 100 Machines is a 3 gigabyte Database and if you are monitoring more than 100 machines then your database will automatically extend itself by allocating another partition the same size as the initial partition. (In this case 3 gigabytes)

kb110: Longitude install logs
On Windows a file named Heroix_Longitude_InstallLog.log is created in the Longitude directory by the Heroix Longitude installation (by default C:\Program Files\Longitude). The SAP database install log is called sapdbInstallLog.txt on the root directory (e.g. C:\). Also under the root directory is an install log called HeroixLongitude_Log.txt.
On Linux a file called Heroix_Longitude_InstallLog.log is created in the Longitude directory (by default /opt/Longitude).
