Hi Jeff -
I assume you've seen our information on Collector sizing at: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/settings/collectors/collector-capacity/
From a storage standpoint the Collector uses only a nominal amount of space -- only about 200MB. And disk storage is not used in normal operation because essentially all operations take place in-memory.
Where the Collector may use disk is to cache collected data in case of a temporary outage between the Collector and the LM mothership. In this (typically rare) case the Collector will write collected data to disk until connectivity with our service platform is restored, at which point this cache will be flushed such that any consumed storage will be freed.
