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.
Raspberry PI OS
The bash script installation path can be used to install the collector on a dedicated Raspberry Pi device running Raspberry Pi OS based off of Debian 12 (bookworm) at minimum.
OVA and Bash Script Collector
The system should be able to dedicate 2 GHz dual core processor thread, 4GB of RAM, and 25GB of available disk space. Larger installations will require greater dedicated resources, with a minimum of 4 CPU threads, 8GB of RAM, and 25GB of free space.

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 dedicate 2 GHz dual core processor thread 4GB of RAM, and 20GB of available disk space. The host Windows machine should have at least 4 CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 16 GB. Larger installations will require greater dedicated resources, with a minimum of 4 CPU threads, 8GB of memory, and 8GB of free space. Therefore, the host machine should also be sized accordingly to handle this requirement.
