Adjust Data Buffering and Disk Sizing

You can increase the local storage limit of cloud agents or gateways, depending on your storage capacity and needs.

If you experience network connectivity issues, the data collected by agents is stored locally until the connection to Oracle Management Cloud service is re-established.

Agents have the following default local storage limits:

  • 100 MB of local data for each cloud agent

  • 100 GB of local data for a gateway

To change the storage limit for any agent, you set a new value for the senderManagerMaxDiskUsedTotal parameter by running the following:

  • <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/bin/omcli setproperty agent -allow_new -name senderManagerMaxDiskUsedTotal -value <new value>

    Note the <new value> is in MB.

For example:

  • To increase the local storage for a cloud agent to 200 MB, on the host where the agent is installed, run:

    <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/bin/omcli setproperty agent -allow_new -name senderManagerMaxDiskUsedTotal -value 200

  • To increase the local storage for a gateway to 200 GB, on the host where the gateway is installed, run:

    <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/bin/omcli setproperty agent -allow_new -name senderManagerMaxDiskUsedTotal -value 200000

The changes are in effect immediately. The cloud agent does not need to be restarted when changing this value.
