Data collectors are lightweight applications that are deployed on servers or virtual machines in your data centers. Data collectors collect capacity, configuration, and performance metadata and stream that metadata for analysis over HTTPS connections to your unique instance of IBM Storage Insights. For more information about data collectors, including best practices for deployments, check out Managing data collectors in the IBM Knowledge Center.
Data collector requirements: In addition to the RAM and disk space requirements for running the operating system on the host, you must provide at least 1 GB of RAM and 3 GB of disk space to run the data collector.
