Technical Requirements

Logger requires the following minimum system setup.

Specification

Details

CPU, Memory, and Disk Space for Enterprise Version of Software Logger
  • CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon Quad Core or equivalent
  • Memory: 12–24 GB (24 GB recommended)
  • Disk Space: 65 GB (minimum) in the Software Logger installation directory. If you allocate more space, you can store more data.
  • Root partition: 40 GB (minimum)
  • Temp directory: 1 GB

Note: Using a network file system (NFS) as primary event storage is not recommended.

CPU, Memory, and Disk Space for Trial Logger and VM Instances
  • CPU: 1 or 2 x Intel Xeon Quad Core or equivalent
  • Memory: 4 –12 GB (12 GB recommended).
    Logger will take up 60% of the available memory, so in a 12 GB setup, this will amount to 7.2 GB of RAM.
  • Disk Space: 10 GB (minimum) in the Logger installation directory
  • Temp directory: 1 GB
Server

For Software form factor:

For L7700 Appliance upgrade:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9.

The appliance model L8000 is being introduced with the Logger 7.3 version.

VM Instances
  • You can deploy the Logger virtual machine (VM) on a VMware ESXi server, version 5.5. The VM image includes the Logger installer on a 64-bit CentOS 7.9 configured with 12 GB RAM and four physical (and eight logical) cores.
  • Micro Focus ArcSight strongly recommends allocating a minimum of 4 GB RAM per VM instance.
  • The sum of memory configurations of the active VMs on a VM server must not exceed the total physical memory on the server.

Other Applications
  • To avoid file permissions, ownership, ports, and resource consumption issues, make sure no third-party applications are installed on the same system as Logger.
  • For optimal performance, make sure no other applications are running on the system where Logger is installed.
Customers running on platforms not provided in the Technical Requirements or with untested configurations will be supported until the point Micro Focus determines the root cause is the untested platform or configuration. According to the standard defect-handling policies, Micro Focus will prioritize and fix issues we can reproduce on the tested platforms.
