Insight System Requirements and Platform Support

Insight system requirements depend mainly upon the number of Artifactory repositories.

By default, Insight stores one year of storage information, one year of metrics information, one year of events information (like garbage collection details), and one day of requests information.

Note

You can install and use Insight only if you use Artifactory 7.27.3 or later.

Insight will only display Xray charts if you have Xray version 3.33.3 or later. Upgrade Xray to version 3.33.3 to view the Xray charts.

Local file system is used to store information specific to the node. The main file that is used here is the mc.key which is used to encrypt the database content. This need to be synchronized between the nodes manually.

The following sizing information is provided based on the default configuration.

Number of Artifactory Repositories	Processor	Memory	Disk Space
Up to 500	4 cores	5 GB Elasticsearch Service - 3 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 2 GB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 2 GB) Insight Server - 1 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 400 MB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 400 MB) Insight Scheduler - 1 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 400 MB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 400 MB)	120 GB Elasticsearch - 100 GB PostgreSQL DB - 10 GB Insight Installation and logs - 10 GB
500 to 1500	4 cores	8 GB Elasticsearch Service - 4 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 2 GB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 2 GB) Insight Server - 2 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 800 MB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 800 MB) Insight Scheduler - 2 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 800 MB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 800 MB)	220 GB Elasticsearch - 200 GB PostgreSQL DB - 10 GB Insight Installation and logs - 10 GB
1500 to 2500	4 cores	14 GB Elasticsearch Service - 6 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 3 GB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 3 GB) Insight Server - 4 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 1.6 GB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 1.6 GB) Insight Scheduler - 4 GB (default minimum heap memory allocation - 1.6 GB, default maximum heap memory allocation - 1.6 GB)	420 GB Elasticsearch - 400 GB PostgreSQL DB - 10 GB Insight Installation and logs - 10 GB

Note

If you want to use Insight in a high availability configuration, you must have three or more odd number of nodes.

Operating Systems and Platform Support

The following table lists the supported operating systems and the versions.

Installation on Kubernetes environments is through Helm Charts. Supported Helm version is Helm 3+.

Kubernetes Sizing Requirements

We have included YAML files with different sizing configurations for Artifactory , Xray, and Distribution in our GitHub pages. You can use these YAML files when you set up your cluster.

ARM64 Support for Container-Based Installations

Starting from version 7.41.4, Artifactory supports installation on ARM64 architecture specifically through Helm and Docker installations. When deploying Artifactory on an ARM64 platform, an external database must be set up as Artifactory does not support the bundled database for ARM64 installations. The appropriate ARM64 Container Image is automatically pulled during the Helm or Docker installation process.

Additionally, ARM64 support is available for Xray and Distribution all through container-based Installations.
