UTMStack Installation Guide
Welcome to the UTMStack installation guide. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing UTMStack, ensuring a seamless setup and configuration of the platform. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.
System Requirements
Before proceeding with the installation, it is important to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements to run UTMStack effectively. Please refer to the System Requirements page in the UTMStack documentation for detailed information about the recommended specifications for your environment.
Installation Steps
The UTMStack installation process consists of three main steps:
-
Choose the Architecture: Before starting the installation, you need to decide on the architecture for your UTMStack deployment. This step determines the components and services that will be installed. Refer to the Architecture Page for a detailed description of each architecture option.
-
Installing the Federated Service (Optional): If you have chosen the Federated architecture in Step 1, follow the instructions in the Federated Server Installation Guide after ensuring your system meets the recommended specifications mentioned in the Federated Service Requirements page.
-
Setting up the Servers: The server is the central component of the UTMStack architecture, responsible for managing and coordinating all other UTMStack components and services.
To set up the server, you need to create a virtual machine (VM) or physical machine that will host the UTMStack software. The VM should have a requirements of 8 cores, 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of disk storage for each 50 devices. (Assuming you will retain 30 days of live logs). Once the VM is created, it needs to be configured with the operating system Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.
** Integration Requirements ** : To ensure optimal system performance, certain additional requirements beyond the minimums must be considered. Each integration being introduced should reserve at least 1GB of space. This reservation is crucial to ensure proper data storage and efficient system operation as a whole.
** Logging Volume Considerations **: Furthermore, it’s important to take into account the volume of logs generated and processed within 10-minute intervals. If this volume exceeds 1GB the time interval mentioned before, immediate communication with the support team is required. This communication is essential to ensure system stability and performance, as well as to address any potential issues related to log management.
For detailed instructions on setting up the master servers, please refer to the Master Server Setup Guide in the UTMStack documentation. -
