In a hybrid deployment, the NVIDIA Minerva Platform Stack runs separately from the Collector Stack. The Collector Stack ships telemetry to the Platform Stack and runs switch operations on the platform's behalf.
-
Platform Stack: the platform services on cloud or on-premises VMs
-
Collector Stack: collection and ingestion services on on-premises hosts, configured to ship telemetry to the Platform Stack. It runs the data ingress (
nginx-data-onprem), the OTel gateways, andswitch-connector.
Note: Cloud and SaaS deployments of NVIDIA Minerva are not currently supported.

Between Collector Nodes (Multi-Node Collectors)
Open the Swarm ports listed in Multi-Node Swarm Port Requirements in Prepare Hosts for Docker Swarm. They apply to collector Swarms too.
Before You Begin
-
The Platform Stack is installed and running.
-
The platform address given during the platform installation is an IP address or FQDN that the collector nodes can resolve and reach.
-
The ports above are open.
-
Each collector node is prepared as described in Prepare Hosts for Docker Swarm.
