# Viewing your gateway system resource status


When your gateway starts, it checks its virtual CPU cores, root volume size, and RAM. It then determines whether these system resources are sufficient for your gateway to function properly. You can view the results of this check on the gateway's local console.

**To view the status of a system resource check**

1. Log in to your gateway's local console:
