Hi Ather,
You can do it. You can install only one collector, but you must be carefull in what you can monitor, not all logs you can be registered. Other factor is the transaccionallity of the DB, this factor is very important because the DB of collector could be full in one day and you must be purge data. If you need save logs for more time, you need an aggregator/CM.
The recommended collector for this enviroment is 32GB RAM 8 cores and 1TB of disk (2TB better).
I have one collector with 1TB and two Oracle cluster serves and this collector support one day, then I export data to the aggregator for more days of data. But I have other collector with 6 servers, this collector register only the DBAs activities, in this collector we save data to a fileserver everyday and purge information, this allows us 2 months in the collector.

Hi ,
I want to know about the different type of installations available in appliance.

Custom Partition Installation (Graphical Mode)
Aggregator or Central Manager (CM) NM_setup

Which installation would be best suitable for which type of installation either for single datacenter / how many number of which databases are supported by which installation type.
