Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (File Analytics)

  • 64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

  • For Linux based Data Collectors, verify the rpm fontconfig is installed. Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font configuration, customization and application access. If the rpm fontconfig is not installed, the installer will not be able to load User Interface Mode. This is a prerequisite for a new Data Collector installation.

  • Support Amazon Corretto 11. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).

  • For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the APTARE IT Analytics Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

  • Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).
