Auvik system requirements

Follow

Auvik is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Most of Auvik runs in the cloud, but to access and communicate with your environment, we use a collector that runs on your client’s network. The collector is available through an OVA installation, bash installation, Docker or as a lightweight Windows service.

Supported browsers

  • Most major browsers running Chromium base along with Opera, Firefox and Safari.
  • Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 720 will provide the best viewing experience.

For all browsers, make sure Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 is enabled. Most browsers have it enabled by default. As browsers constantly update Auvik recommends keeping your browser up to date with the latest in security and hotfixes.

Auvik collector requirements

Supported OS platforms:

Ubuntu 22.04 Server

Note: To continue to use an Ubuntu Server as an Auvik Collector, customers will need a minimum version of Ubuntu 20.04. As of July 29, 2023, Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier are EOL/EOS and cannot be used to host the Auvik collector.

For new installations of an Auvik Collector, we recommend Ubuntu 22.04.

  • OVA/scripted
    Installation instructions for setting up the Auvik collector using an OVA can be found here.

Windows

The Windows service can be installed on any Microsoft Windows desktop running a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Version 22H2 or higher or any server running a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2016 or higher. For more information on OS End of Service and the Auvik Collector, click here.

The system should have at least one CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of available disk space. Larger installations will require greater resources with a minimum of 4 CPU threads, 8GB of memory, and 8GB of free space. Even greater CPU and memory allotments may be needed when deployed to environments where the collector may encounter 2,000 devices or over 9,000 interfaces (Interfaces may be virtual or physical) If the Windows machine is performing any other critical functionality, resourcing should be increased to address those needs also. Be aware the Windows service will bind to ports 21 and 69. We recommend you install the service on a system that doesn’t already have services bound to these ports.
