Hardware Requirements
| Computer/processor |
Recommended:The latest generation of Intel/AMD processors (Intel Xeon CPUs or compatible) and the fastest possible processor speed CPU Cores:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Memory |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Memory swap file |
Windows: The virtual memory for Windows should be at least 1.5 times the size of the physical memory. Linux: The Linux swap file size should be equal in size to the physical memory. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Free hard disk space |
Small/Standard: 100 GB (Note: 75 out of 100 GB disk space is required for scan files storage) Enterprise: 300 GB (Note: 225 out of 300 GB disk space is required for scan files storage) Note Support for Storage Area Network (SAN) is available for usable disk space for Data Flow Probe. You can install Data Flow Probe on Storage Area Network (SAN) disk storage attached to a server. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Display |
Windows/Linux: Color palette setting of at least 256 colors (32,000 colors recommended) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note
-
The XML Enricher (with OOTB configuration of two threads) would use a total of 4~5 GB memory for processing scan files on the probe. If scan files are large, you need to add another 1~2 GB memory for the XML Enricher.
-
The XML Enricher must be configured to match the deployment mode of the probe. For details, see How to Configure XML Enricher to Suit the Probe Deployment Mode.
For more information about data flow probe sizing considerations, see Sizing.
Software Requirements
Note For Linux platforms, only integrations are supported, not discovery. For details, see How to Run Module/Job-based Discovery in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
