​Why do you recommend to have Security Gateway for more than 100 OneAgents?

Hi,

Could you tell us the reason for why we should have at least one Security Gateway if we have more than 100 OneAgents?

Is it due to the Bandwidth of traffic of Agents?

If you plan to install more than 100 OneAgents, it’s a good idea to deploy at least one Security Gateway.

Yes, the security gateway does compression, so if you have high agent numbers it is highly recommended. Aside from that you need it anyway if you want to caputre memory dumps or integrate vmware environments.

Hello

If I have 150 agent - Do I need have 2 Active Gates ?

How much agent can bundles one Active Gate?
