Mentioned below are the minimum requirements to run AssetExplorer. You may require more RAM space and high-end processors depending upon the support load, simultaneous access load, and other applications' load installed on the same server.
| No of Nodes | Hard Disk Type | RAM | Processor | OS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250-2000 | 500GB SDD | 8GB |
1.7GHz to 2.4GHz 10MB to 12MB Cache 4 cores to 8 cores or Any entry-level server grade processor E.g Intel Xeon Scalable -Bronze/Silver Intel Xeon E Family |
Windows Server OS (2019, 2022, 2025) Linux RedHat Linux (RHEL): 7 and above Ubuntu: 20 and above Cent OS: 8 and above Debian: 10 and above |
| 2000-10000 | 1TB - SDD | 16GB |
2.4GHz to 3.0GHz 12MB to 20MB Cache 6 cores to 8 cores or equivalent technology E.g Intel Xeon E Family |
|
| 10000-30000# | 2TB/3TB* - SDD | 16GB |
3.0GHz to 4.5GHz 12MB to 30 MB Cache 10 cores to 20 cores or equivalent technology E.g |
* - PostgreSQL bundled is configured as a database.
#- If you have more than 30k scannable nodes, it is recommended to have separate remote servers for up to 30k nodes each. That way the load on the central server will be minimal.
If your AssetExplorer runs on an MSSQL setup, then make sure to host the database server in a separate machine under the same network as the application server. The DB server machine configuration solely depends on no of databases configured and usage. Please consult with your DBA or Microsoft MSSQL support for system requirements
Supported MSSQL Versions: 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022.
Since PostgreSQL 9.2 requires users to modify kernel resources to allot required resources for Postgres server,
i. Add the the below mentioned entry in /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax=536870912
kernel.shmall=131072
ii. Execute sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf to reload the configured change.
Note: This is only applicable for Linux OS installations that use bundled Postgres.
All MSSQL databases usually have lock issues, which may affect an application’s optimal performance. To avoid such performance issues in AssetExplorer, enable the read committed snapshot isolation (RCSI) by following these steps:
This might take a while to complete and also requires downtime, so please schedule it over a weekend.
Take the AssetExplorer database offline by executing
USE master GO ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE GO
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE GO
USE master GO ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET ONLINE GO
SELECT is_read_committed_snapshot_on FROM sys.databases WHERE [name] = '<db_name>'
If the output to this query is 1, you've successfully enabled RCSI.
You can now start the application. For more information on MSSQL databases and RSCI, go here.
