NXLog User Guide

7. System Requirements

In order to function efficiently, each NXLog product requires a certain amount of available system resources on the host system. The tables below provide general guidelines to use when planning an NXLog deployment. Actual system requirements will vary based on the configuration and event rate; therefore, both minimum and recommended requirements are listed. Always thoroughly test a deployment to verify that the desired performance can be achieved with the system resources available.

Note	These requirements are in addition to the operating system’s requirements, and the requirements should be combined cumulatively for systems running both NXLog Enterprise Edition and NXLog Manager.

Table 11. NXLog Enterprise Edition Requirements
	Minimum	Recommended
Processor cores	1	2
Memory/RAM	60 MB	250 MB
Disk space	50 MB	150 MB

Table 12. NXLog Manager Requirements
	Minimum	Recommended
Processor cores	2	2
Memory/RAM (see note)	2048 MB	4096 MB
Disk space	300 MB	1024 MB

Note	The NXLog Manager memory/RAM requirement increases by 2 MB for each managed agent. For example, if an NXLog Manager instance monitors 100 agents, the recommended memory/RAM requirement is 4296 MB.
