Prerequisites for the Enhanced Auditing feature

In addition to the Prerequisites for Arctera eDiscovery, you must meet the following requirements for the Enhanced Auditing feature.

Hardware requirements

The Enhanced Auditing feature must be installed on a server other than the eDiscovery server. This audit server will host both Auditing API endpoint and optionally Elasticsearch.

The audit server must have a minimum configuration of 8 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, and 100 GB HDD.

Software requirements

  • Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019

  • Microsoft .NET 4.7.2

  • Microsoft ASP.NET Core Runtime 6.0.20 - Windows Server Hosting

  • Internet Information Services 8.5 or later version

  • IIS Security feature - IP and Domain Restrictions feature must be installed using the Roles, Role Services, and Features wizard of the Server Manager console.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019, or later Redistributable (x86)

  • PowerShell 4.0, or later version

Note:

The Enhanced Auditing feature installer installs the other required applications, including Elasticsearch 7.17.4 (only if the existing Elasticsearch is not being used). In case the installer fails to install Elasticsearch, you must manually install it. If you already have installed Elasticsearch, you can use the existing Elasticsearch URL and server details.

Even if the Enhanced Auditing feature is uninstalled, Elasticsearch does not get uninstalled.

Only Elasticsearch version 7.17.4 is supported.
