Supported Platforms
By saying 'supported' we mean that assistance may be provided for issues encountered with software or hardware listed since we have carried out some level of testing. We cannot guarantee that no issues will be encountered.
Supported Operating Systems
Note: For all platforms, we build against the latest updates (including major fixes and security updates) on the respective operating systems. Therefore, we suggest your target platform also has the latest updates.

Supported Virtualisation Technologies
We will support Opsview running on the following virtualisation technologies in combination with certified OS / Linux Distribution.
- VMware Player (for evaluation only, not production systems)
- VMware Server
- VMware ESX
- Parallels (for evaluation only, not production systems)
- Xen Hypervisor
- KVM Hypervisor
This is dictated by our ability to test and diagnose problems.
Supported Apache, MySQL and Perl versions
Unless we state otherwise we recommend you use the latest packaged versions of this software available for your supported distribution of choice.
Hardware Specifications (for server)
Minimum hardware specification
Don't try and run Opsview on with less than:
- A modern CPU
- 512 MB RAM (1GB for 64 bit systems)
- 20GB Available storage (with data warehouse disabled)
Recommended hardware specification - up to 250 devices
- A modern multi-core CPU
- 2GB RAM
- 80GB Available storage (with RAID 1, 0+1 or 10)
Recommended hardware specification - distributed monitoring
Master Server:
- Two or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 2GB RAM
- 250GB Available storage (with hardware RAID controller)
Slave Server:
- One or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 1GB RAM
- 20GB Available storage
Database Server:
- Two or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 2-4GB RAM
- 250GB Available storage (with hardware RAID controller)
Recommended hardware specification - very large system
For very large distributed monitoring systems we would recommend the following architecture:
- 2x master servers in HA mode
- 2x database servers in HA mode
- External storage array for database servers
- A slave cluster for each data centre (minimum of 2 servers)
Supported Web Browsers
Opsview presents the administrative and status interface via a web server. Opsview is tested with the following web browsers:
- Firefox 2.x and 3.x
- Internet Explorer 6 (SP3) and 7
- Safari 2.x and 3.x
We test on latest release / patch levels of these browsers and therefore issues may exist with earlier versions we're unaware of.
