Discovery Agent requirements
The Discovery Agent requires this hardware:
•  Disk - At least 160 MB on Windows and 120 MB on Linux. The Discovery Agent uses this space to store binary files, configuration files, and log files.
•  RAM - At least 110 MB for 20000 optimized connections (the current limit).
•  CPU - Depends on the throughput. For example, the Discovery Agent uses 5 to ten percent of a 2.66 GHz CPU to process 1 Gbps of optimized traffic.
