2.1. Installation requirements
Apart from the Minimum System Requirements set out above, there are
a number of things to check so as to ensure the best performance
from Caligare Flow Inspector:
-
Caligare Flow Inspector should run on a dedicated Server.
The software is processor-intensive and a busy processor can result in
problems in collecting NetFlow data.
-
We recommend the latest version of MySQL database server and client
(libmysqlclient version 16 at minimum).
-
Apache 2 web server with PHP support (ideally PHP5.3).
-
Installed PHP extensions
php5-gd
,
php5-mysql
and php5-snmp
.
-
System networking utilities: ping,
traceroute, whois.
-
We recommend to use 64bit version (amd64) on a server with more then 4GB RAM.
