|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Edition/Plugin Professional Edition | 1 to 100 | 2 Core / 2.0 GHz and above | 4 GB RAM | 100 GB & above |
| 101 to 250 | 2 Core / 2.0 GHz and above | 8 GB RAM | 150 GB & above | |
| 251 to 500 | 4 Core / 2.0 GHz and above | 12 GB RAM | 200 GB & above | |
| Enterprise Edition/ Plugin Enterprise Edition | 250 to 1000 1 Admin & 2-3 Managed servers |
4 Core / 2.0 GHz and above | 12 GB RAM | 200 GB & above per instance |
| 1001 to 10000 1 Admin & 2-20 Managed servers |
4 Core / 2.0 GHz and above | 16 GB RAM | 200 GB & above per instance |
* The above mentioned memory does not include memory used by OS which should account for another 4 GB.
* If number of Managed Servers are high, 16 GB RAM for the Admin Server is recommended.

EUM Agents for Firefox based RBM monitors have to be installed on a dedicated Windows / Linux machine - 8 GB RAM, 40 GB HD. EUM Agents for Microsoft Edge based RBM monitors have to be installed on a dedicated Windows - 8 GB RAM, 40 GB HD. EUM Agents for Chrome based RBM monitors have to be installed on a dedicated Windows / Linux machine - 8 GB RAM, 40 GB HD. However, Applications Manager can be installed on Windows or Linux. This works with the Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition (with Managed Server).

User Privilege: In Windows, Administrator privileges required for Applications Manager installation.
Applications Manager supports PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL database backends for storing all the configuration information and data collected.
PostgreSQL comes bundled with your download of Applications Manager from Build 11000. We support PostgreSQL versions up to 10.18 (for 32-bit installation) and 11.14 (for 64-bit installation) for the backend. For Applications Manager with PostgreSQL database backend, there will be two more additional users (dbuser and rouser) created along with the existing PostgreSQL user.
| User Name | Description | Required Privileges |
|---|---|---|
| dbuser | Used in case users do not want to use the SUPERUSER privilege for the Applications Manager database. |
|
| rouser | Used to query the database from Applications Manager QueryTool option, in order to avoid users to execute UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT and ALTER type of queries. |
|
For normal installations, user account of 'dbuser' will be used in the database_params.conf file instead of 'postgres' user. However, for service pack installations, 'postgres' user will be used by default and other two users will be created on very first startup of Applications Manager after service pack upgrade.
The supported Microsoft SQL database versions that you may use are: 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Servers 2014/ 2016/ 2017/ 2019 (SQL Standard / Enterprise Edition). It is also recommended that the SQL server and Applications Manager are in the same LAN.
SQL Server Collation : Any case-insensitive collation. For Chinese Installation use Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese Installation use collation setting (Japanese_CI_AS)
