Sensor hardware requirements

Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensors are installed on build machines that run OpenText SAST (Fortify Static Code Analyzer). For OpenText SAST hardware requirements, see the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide.

Sensor disk space requirements

To estimate the amount of disk space required on the machine that runs a Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensor, use one of the following equations:

Intended use Equation
Remote scan only

<num_of_scans> x (<size_avg_MBS><size_avg_FPR><size_avg_SCA_log>) x <num_days_data_is_persisted>

Remote translation and scan <num_jobs_per_day> x (<size_avg_archived_project_with_dependencies> + <size_avg_project_with_dependencies> + <size_avg_FPR> + <size_avg_SCA_log>) x <number_days_data_is_persisted>

By default, data is persisted for seven days.
