The lightweight Machine Agent consumes minimal resources of your computer.

To accommodate the Machine Agent, we recommend these additional heap and PermGen space sizes:

• Maximum heap size (-Xmx): 256 MB
• Maximum PermGen heap size (-XX:MaxPermSize): 20 MB

By default, the JVM maximum heap size is set to 256 MB. To override this setting, you can set this flag through the JAVA_OPTS environment variable on your system. For example, if you enter: export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms20m -Xmx128m" on Linux, this sets the initial heap size to 20 MB and the max heap size to 128 MB.
