Monitoring Without Application Center Events and Performance Logging
This section describes how to use monitoring for your cluster without using Application Center Event and Performance Logging.
Because logging events and monitoring data consumes computer resources, you might want to install without Application Center Events and Performance Logging, which will create a slight performance gain compared to installing with this feature. Installing without Application Center Event and Performance Logging consumes less disk space, CPU resources, and memory. If you install Application Center without Application Center Events and Performance Logging, the options for logging still appear in the user interface, but they have no effect because this feature is not present. You will need to keep this in mind and ignore any logging settings.
The following table lists the features that are not available if logging is not installed.
