nLive System Requirements

System Configuration Requirements for nLive Software Installation

The system requirements for nLive depend heavily on the traffic that you have in your network. If you have very light traffic, low-end PC hardware is sufficient. At the bare minimum, the system should have 512MB RAM and a few GB free disk space, but that may only be suitable for low to medium loads. However, the performance might suffer if the traffic is higher.

If you are deploying packet analysis based monitor (nLive Core or nLive Enterprise with packet analysis enabled), faster CPU and more RAM are recommended in contrast with netflow based monitors (nLive Flow or Enterprise). This is because monitoring netflow is less demanding on the hardware than monitoring packets.
