Smart Monitor Minimum System Requirements

General Requirements

• Deployment type: Dedicated physical or virtual servers
• Component versions: All nodes must use the same version of Smart Monitor components
• Time zone and synchronization: Time synchronization must be configured (e.g., via NTP), and a single time zone must be used
• Network infrastructure: High-speed connection between nodes – recommended at least 1 GB/s. Low network latency – no more than 10 ms
• Storage: SSD drives are recommended for all components. XFS file system is recommended

Supported Operating Systems

Smart Monitor supports installation and operation on modern Linux distributions using the systemd initialization system. Below are the minimum and recommended hardware and software requirements, as well as the supported operating systems for all system components.

note

It is recommended to use RHEL versions 7 and 8.
