We have an automation script that, given conditions, looks for a profile instance in order to trigger an action. In this solution, we may continue growing the number of profile instances and want to know if/when we might experience performance issues. Currently for this solution we have 130 instances, with 30 other instances outside of this solution bringing the total instances in our Profile Manager to 160.
Hi Ryan,
This should be no problem. We are revealing some metrics on the DataMiner Docs and as you can see, this should not be a problem.

There was also a very nice post by my colleague over here: Boost the performance of your SRM setup - DataMiner Dojo. You'll see that migrating your SRM data to the indexing engine will also greatly enhance performance. Our recommendation is Storage as a Service, or if you do want to continue using self-hosted storage, use dedicated clustered storage with OpenSearch.
Furthermore, XML storage is no longer supported from DataMiner 10.4.0 onwards. Upgrading to 10.4.0 will not be possible if the profile data is still stored in XML. You can find the migration procedure here: Migrating SRM profiles to the indexing database | DataMiner Docs
Hope this helps you further!
Kind Regards,
Jarno
