Network bandwidth

500MB/day per active Discovery Robot client

~15KB/s per active Discovery Robot client

~1.2MB average packet size (10 user actions per packet)

*When a single server with 16 cores is not possible, installation on 2 servers with 8 cores each is an option. Contact Nintex Support for details if this is option is required.

The client machine does not support AVX2 CPI.

How many cores?

To verify the number of processor cores installed on a machine:

  1. Open the Windows Task Manager > Performance tab

  2. The Logical processors field provides the information you're looking for

Yes, it might seem counterintuitive, but for purposes of Process Discovery, it's the Logical processors field you're interested in – not the Cores field!
