System Requirements

Previous  Top  Next

EventReporter requires very limited resources of the machine to run optimally. The actual minimum requirements to run the application depend on the type of installation. If only the client is installed, they are a bit higher otherwise the service needs a few enabling it to run on a large variety of machines – even the highly utilized ones.


Client

·	The EventReporter client needs roughly 10 MB of disk space.

·	Internet Explorer 5.5 (or higher) is necessary for the Client.

·	The EventReporter client is optional and needs not to be present on a production system.

·	The client can be installed on Windows 2000 SP3 and above. This includes Windows XP, Windows 2003/2008 servers and Windows Vista. The operating system variant (Workstation, Server …) is irrelevant.

·	The client is suitet for 32bit and 64bit operating systems. The installer determines the correct version for the operating system by itself.

Service

·	The service has fewer requirements. Most importantly, it does not need Internet Explorer to be installed on the system.

·	It works under the same operating system versions.

·

Engine-only installations require roughly 200 KB of disk space and 2MB of virtual memory. Please note that this is not actual used RAM - RAM usage is roughly 1 MB during iterations (can be higher for very large entries). During the idle period, the engine does not need any actual RAM - just swap space. Idle periods are implemented via operation system sleep() calls which do not use any processor cycles at all.

·	Please note that EventReporter is developed under Windows 2000 and XP. It is tested under Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

·	Under Windows 2000, the 3 additional event logs ("DNS Server", "File Replication Service" and "Directory Service") are automatically supported.

·	The default install set (most probably the one you found in this documentation) contains the executable for the Intel platform.
