Kubernetes Agent Requirements

Kubernetes Agent collects inventory and metrics every 5 minutes by default. Refer to Configuring data collection interval for details about how to change the collection interval.

Table 2. Kubernetes Agent requirements
Maximum Containers	Kubernetes Agent Collection Interval (minutes)
Maximum Containers	Inventory	Metrics
500	5	5
1000	10	10
5000	30	30
10000	60	60

Table 2 is the recommendations for local Kubernetes clusters. If you deploy Kubernetes clusters on the Cloud Provider Kubernetes Service, consider your network rate and change your configurations based on different Cloud Provider and different region/zone of your cluster.

Docker Swarm Agent Requirements

Docker Swarm Agent collects inventory and metrics every 5 minutes by default. Refer to Configuring data collection interval for details about how to change the collection interval.

Table 3. Docker Swarm Agent requirements
Maximum Containers	Docker Swarm Agent Collection Interval (minutes)

500	5	5
1000	10	10
5000	30	30

Table 3 is the recommendations for local Docker Swarm clusters. For cloud environment, consider network rate and change configurations based on different Cloud Provider and different region/zone.
