The two sections below describe the minimum requirements for the SysOrb Agent and the SysOrb Server. We recommend that you check your system to ensure that these requirements are met before you install the SysOrb Agent or the SysOrb Server.
The SysOrb Agent software will run on most hardware used in servers today, and it currently supports nine major server operating systems. Because of this the SysOrb Agent software can be run on your servers without interfering with the servers' normal operations.
The actual requirements for running the SysOrb Agent software (which is required for monitoring local devices such as hard-drives etc. on the systems you wish to monitor) are as follows:
Please note: All requirements listed here, are the requirements of the agent alone - the requirements do not include requirements for the operating system and other base services.
Below the notion of "all versions" refers to all versions of the given operating system as supported by the SysOrb Agent.
