Important
Please note that this is a change from our HW/SW specs from Insights 2021.10. Insights 2021.10 requires a single Windows machine, while Insights 2022.4 requires a Windows machine and a Linux machine with RHEL 8.2-8.6.

In 2021.10, the Insights Windows machine ran Docker which hosted the Looker Linux container. Starting with 2022, the driver used to nest the Linux containers in Windows OS (called lcow) is not supported anymore by Microsoft for enterprise applications. As a result, we had to change our deployment architecture to require 2 machines - one Windows machine to run the UiPath Insights components, and a Linux machine to run the Looker container. With this change, enterprise support is available from OS vendors for the components needed to run UiPath products. The supported versions of Linux OS are the same that Automation Suite supports.
Hardware Requirements
These requirements are only applicable to the machine where Insights is installed.
Insights Windows Machine
Important!
Insights must be installed on its own machine; it cannot be co-hosted with Orchestrator.
CPU (cores) | System Memory (GB) | Available Storage (GB) | Examples | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minimum Hardware | 2 | 8 | 32 | AWS t2.large or Azure D2s_v3 |
Recommended Hardware | 4 | 16 | 32 | AWS t2.xlarge or Azure D4s_v3 |
Insights Linux Machine
The following table lists the hardware requirements for hosting the Insights Linux Machine.
CPU (cores) | System Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minimum Hardware | 4 | 16 | 32 | AWS t2.xlarge or Azure D4s_v3 |
Ports
Make sure the following ports are externally accessible and no other service uses these ports:
Inbound Ports | Machine |
|---|---|
Note: This is the default port, and you can change it to any available port | Insights Windows Machine |
| Insights Linux Machine |
| Insights Linux Machine |
| Insights Linux Machine |
Note:
Make sure that the hostnames for both the Insights Windows Machine and the Insights Linux Machine are resolvable within your DNS.
SQL Requirements
Note:
For best performance, consider hosting the Insights database on a dedicated machine. If you currently have a Small-Scale deployment or are evaluating Insights, you might have both Orchestrator and Insights databases on the same machine. If you start noticing performance issues, you can move the Insights database to a dedicated machine.
Small Scale Up to 1M Rows | Medium Scale Up to 20M Rows | Large Scale Up to 200M Rows | |
|---|---|---|---|
CPU | 4 Cores | 8 Cores | 16 Cores |
System Memory | 16 GB | 32 GB | 64 GB |
Data Disk | 40 GB | 100 GB | 1 TB |
Software Requirements
Important!
Your Orchestrator and Insights products must be of the same version (e.g.,
v2022.4.0).
Operating System
Software | Compatible Version |
|---|---|
Windows Machine | 2019 Active Directory users need the following permissions: |
Red Hat Enterprise Linux | 8.2 - 8.6 |
Database
Software | Compatible Version |
|---|---|
SQL Machine | 2019 |
Note:
Insights requires the SQL Server to have support for columnstore index and .json functions.
For Azure SQL, ensure the database is S3 tier or above.
Make sure the compatibility level for Insights database is set to 150 or higher (
"SELECT compatibility_level from sys.databases WHERE name = '{dbName}'). In most cases, the default settings meet this requirement. For more information, refer to View or Change the Compatibility level of a Database - SQL Server.
Web Servers
Software | Compatible Version |
|---|---|
IIS | 10+ |
Frameworks
Note:
Make sure to install the Hosting Bundle after installing IIS.
Software | Compatible Version |
|---|---|
.NET Hosting Bundle 6.0.6 |
