System requirements for IT Data Analytics
This topic provides information about the minimum requirements and supported resources for installing the TrueSight IT Data Analytics product:
Hardware requirements
The following table lists the minimum hardware requirements:
| Resource | Requirements | |
|---|---|---|
Operating systems (64-bit) | Microsoft Windows |
|
| Linux |
| |
| The preceding list is applicable for the product and the target hosts where data resides that you might install on the target hosts. | ||
| CPU and memory | 2 CPUs and 4 GB RAM Note: In a production environment, the minimum requirement would be 8 CPUs and 16 GB RAM for handling a 50-100 GB volume of data per day and up to four users. | |
| Disk space |
| |
| For installation | 20 GB for installing TrueSight IT Data Analyticsin a single-server deployment. This value includes the amount of space required for some TrueSight IT Data Analytics application log files that are expected to grow over time. Additionally, this value includes 15 GB required for ensuring data guarantee for the Collection Station component. Note: If you are operating in a multiple-server deployment, you require 15 GB disk space for every new Collection Station added in your environment. | |
| For indexing data | The disk space can vary depending on the following factors:
Disk space required for your environment size can be estimated based on the recommendations described at Sizing and scalability considerations. Disk space required for the amount of data that you want to index can be estimated as described in the following example. Example: Disk space required for indexing 20 GB data per day with a default retention period of 7 days is 202 GB. This value includes the amount of disk space required for installing the product. This value is calculated as 20 GB (data to be indexed) * 7 (retention period) * 1.3 (storage impact) + 20 GB (disk space to install) = 202 GB disk space. For more information, see Sizing drivers and their impact. | |
| Note: The preceding disk space sizes are for reference purposes only. While calculating the disk space, it is recommended that you add a buffer of 20% to the total size that you arrive at based on the preceding estimates. | ||
Operating system requirements
Support for third-party products
To receive full support for a BMC product, you must have such product installed in a supported environment, as specified in the BMC product documentation. If a third-party vendor cancels support for one of its products (such as an operating system or subsystem), and that third-party product integrates or interacts with the BMC product you have licensed, you must upgrade to a supported version of that third-party product before BMC Customer Support can provide you with support for the affected BMC product. For further information, see
BMC's product support policy.
Software requirements
The following table lists the minimum software requirements:
| Resource | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Port | For more information about ports, see Communication ports and protocols. |
| Web browsers |
|
Screen resolution (to view the Console) | 1280*1024 |
Java (for running CLIs) |
|
Supported integrations
The following table lists information about integrations supported with other BMC products:
| Products | Supported versions |
|---|---|
| BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management | |
BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management | 9.6.00 |
| BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management remote cells | |
TrueSight Operations Management | |
TrueSight Presentation Server | 11.3.x |
TrueSight Infrastructure Management Note: Plan to install IT Data Analytics on a different computer other than the computer that you have installed the Integration Service. Installing both on the same computer stops the TrueSight Infrastructure Management event collection in IT Data Analytics. However, you can install the IT Data Analytics Collection Agent and Integration Service on the same computer if you are monitoring only the log collection and not event collection. | 11.3.x, 11.0.x, 10.7.x |
TrueSight Infrastructure Management remote cells | |
PATROL Agent (This is relevant only if you are using PATROL for TrueSight IT Data Analytics for configuring the Collection Agent. For more information, see
Agent types
| 11.3.x, 11.0.x, 10.7.x |
| Remedy Action Request System | |
| Remedy AR Server | 9.1.x, 9.0.x |
