You must install an Agent in order to acquire information from your data collectors. Before you install the Agent, you should ensure that your environment meets operating system, CPU, memory, and disk space requirements.
| Component | Linux Requirement |
|---|---|
Operating system |
A computer running a licensed version of one of the following: |
Commands |
The 'sudo su –' command is required for installation, running scripts, and uninstall. |
CPU |
4 CPU cores |
Memory |
16 GB RAM |
Available disk space |
Disk space should be allocated in this manner: |
Network |
100 Mbps to 1 Gbps Ethernet connection, static IP address, IP connectivity to all devices, and a required port to the Cloud Secure instance (80 or 443). |
Please note: Cloud Insights agent and Cloud Secure agent can be installed in the same machine. However, it is a best practice to install them in separate machines. In the event that both agents are installed on the same machine, please allocate disk space as shown below:
Available disk space |
50-55 GB |
Additional recommendations
-
It is strongly recommended to synchronize the time on both the ONTAP system and the Agent machine using Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP).
