The system requirements to deploy and use
secure connect gateway vary depending on:
The number of devices to be monitored.
The
secure connect gateway functionality that you want to use—only collect telemetry or monitor devices and collect telemetry.
The following table provides the number of devices you can monitor using
secure connect gateway based on the device type or model:

NOTE: While installing secure connect gateway using containers, the system must have a free disk space of 140 GB, of which a minimum of 10 GB must be allocated for the following directories depending on the container:
Docker—/var/lib/docker directory.
Podman — defined directory in <volumePath> from the
podman info command.
Kubernetes—defined directory in
<PV.yaml file>.
1—if you want
secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis and purge the collected telemetry based on the number of days since the telemetry was collected, it is recommended to allocate 250 GB hard drive space when you deploy or install
secure connect gateway. So, if you want
secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis, it is recommended to purge the collected telemetry based on the size of the total collected telemetry.
You can manually initiate single and multiple device collections. However, you can only select up to 100 devices for a multiple device collection. A multiple device collection performed for deployment, system maintenance, or consulting purposes may result in high system resource utilization at irregular intervals.
The following table provides the minimum system requirements to collect telemetry:
NOTE:Ensure that the hard drive space required to collect telemetry is available in the total hard drive space that is assigned for the appliance.
