System Requirements for Process Discovery Server

How many cores?

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

  1. Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc or right-clicking the taskbar and selecting Task Manager.

  2. In the Task Manager window, click on the Performance tab.

  3. Under the CPU section, you will find information about the CPU usage and performance graphs.

    Look for the Logical Processors section. Here, you will see the number of cores available on your machine.

For purposes of Process Discovery, it's the Logical Processors field you're interested in – not the Cores field.

Item

Requirement

Processor (minimum)

Intel i7 or Xeon / 16 core*

Processors with AVX support

RAM (minimum)

32GB

Recommended: 64GB

Free disk space (SSD)

Minimum: 150GB

Recommended: 500GB

(Local hard disk only)

OS

Windows Server 2016 or higher

Database

Before proceeding with the installation, you must have a preexisting dedicated Windows version database server installed and ready. The supported database management systems are:

  • MariaDB 10.3.7 or higher

  • MySQL 8.0.11 or higher

  • MongoDB 4.4.3 or higher

The database requires the same processor and RAM as the Process Discovery Server, with a minimum of 1TB of available hard disk space.

You have the option to install the databases on the same server or a remote server. However, it is recommended to install them on a remote server for optimal performance.

Supported browser for accessing Process Library

Chrome v69 or higher, Edge v69

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.
