    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,
