Gateway spooling storage

Hi,

 

in this document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-onprem-indepth it's written that there is a spooling storage and you should use a SSD for that.

I don't see any setting around that somewhere... I'm even in doubt taht this is done on disk space but more in memory. I sometimes see that memory usage on the gateway is getting very high (we have a 32GB VM running it) and then the gateway service stops due to low memory.

How can I monitor spooling storage?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Thomas

    Hi TePe,

    As far as I know, you cannot set the spooling location to a custom directory, so it is located inside the install-directory of the gateway:

    C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\Spooler

    So when you install the gateway, make sure the drive you install it on is an SSD.

      Hi,

       

      THANKS for the instant feedback! At least that should made clear in the documentation because then you need to monitor drive c: so it doesn't run out of disk space...

       

      So do you have any other idea why the Gateway might need so much memory (eating up 32GB in total)?

       

      Best Regards,
