This section reviews the system requirements and installation procedures for each platform. Section 2.1, System Requirements, on page 11 Section 2.2, Prerequisites, on page 13 For a listing of all the program files, see File Descriptions and Locations in theNovell Nsure Audit 1.0.3 Administration Guide. 2.1 System Requirements The following sections outline the system requirements for the Secure Logging Server, Platform Agent, and Novell eDirectoryTMand NetWare®Instrumentations. 2.1.1 Secure Logging Server The Secure Logging Server is the server component in the NsureTMauditing system. It is installed on the server you want to manage the flow of information to and from the auditing system. The server where you install the Secure Logging Server must meet the following requirements:
Requirement Operating System
eDirectory Processor Disk Space
Description NetWare 6.5 NetWare 6.0 SP3 or later NetWare 5.1 SP6 or later Windows* 2003 Server Windows 2000 SP3 Solaris* 8 and 9 SUSE®Linux* Enterprise Server 8 and 9 RedHat* Linux AS and ES 2.1 Novell eDirectory version 8.5 or higher A single processor, server-class PC with a Pentium* II 400 Mhz At least 40 MB The space you need for your data store depends on a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, how many events per second you are storing and how long you want to keep the data. For MySQL, a system that generates around 80 events per second with an average event size of 80 bytes consumes approximately 500 MB of disk space for the database table and 150 MB for the index in a 24 hour period.
