Hardware Requirements
These requirements are only applicable for the server where Insights is installed. For users viewing Insights, a supported web browser is the only requirement.
Insights Server
Important!
Insights must be installed on its own machine, it cannot be co-hosted with Orchestrator.
CPU (cores) | System Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
|---|---|---|
8 | 32 | 32 |
Note:
The drive where Docker is installed (usually
C:) requires at least 32 GB of storage.
Virtualization
Important!
If you are using a VM, it must support nested virtualization.
Ports
Make sure the following ports are externally accessible and no other service is using these ports:
Ports |

Note: This is the default port, and you can change it to any available port |
|
|
Note:
Make sure that the Insights hostname is resolvable within your DNS.
SQL Server
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 (<1M Rows) | Medium Scale (1-20M Rows) | Large Scale(20-150M Rows) | Extralarge Scale(150-500M Rows) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
CPU | 4 Cores | 8 Cores | 8-16 Cores | 16 Cores |
System Memory | 16 GB | 32 GB | 32-64 GB | 64 GB |
Data Disk | 40 GB / 7500 IOPS | 100 GB / 7500 IOPS | 500 GB / 1500 IOPS | 1 TB / 1500 IOPS |
