Chapter 2. Installation

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 PC or 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.
  • Apache web server with PHP support.
  • Installed PHP extensions php4-gd, php4-mysql and php4-snmp.
  • System networking utilities: ping, traceroute, whois.
[Caution]Caution
Before installation of NetFlow monitoring package, please, check if all required components are installed.
