Enterprise Console Requirements
The Enterprise Console can run on the same host as the Controller and the embedded Events Service. If this is the case, the machine you choose to run the Enterprise Console must meet the requirements for all the components that run on that machine.
However, we recommend that you place the Enterprise Console on its own separate dedicated host, particularly if you deploy Controllers as High Availability pairs.
Supported Web Browsers
The AppDynamics Enterprise Console UI is an HTML 5-based browser application that works best with the latest version of any browser.
The Enterprise Console UI has been tested with and supports the last two versions of these browsers:
- Safari
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Internet Explorer
Certain types of ad blockers can interfere with features in the Enterprise Console UI. We recommend disabling adblockers while using the Enterprise Console UI.
CPU Requirements
The Enterprise Console is not CPU intensive and therefore can manage multiple platforms with two Cores.
Memory Space Requirements
The Enterprise Console requires an additional memory of one GB of free RAM for Java and MySQL processes.
Disk Space Requirements
The Enterprise Console requires ten GB of free space to install. After the Enterprise Console installation, there must be at least one GB of additional space on the Enterprise Console host in order to perform any operations, such as installing a remote Controller.
Network Protocol Requirements
The Enterprise Console requires SSH and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to be properly configured and enabled for it to use remote hosts.
To access remote hosts, the Enterprise Console uses Java Secure Channel (JSch) API with the provided key file. The Enterprise Console does not support SSH Jump Server. If you use an SSH Jump Server, or have jump host configuration, please contact your AppDynamics representative for deployment options.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package Requirement for Windows
Starting Enterprise Console version 23.7, the MySQL database is upgraded to version 8. MySQL 8 on windows environment requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable package. Install the package from Microsoft Download Center before you install or upgrade Enterprise Console to version 23.7 or higher in Windows environment.
Software Requirements
On systems that run Linux, you must have cURL and netstat
installed. Linux systems must also have the libaio
library installed. This library provides for asynchronous I/O operations on the system.
See Required Libraries for how to install libaio
and other libraries on some common flavors of the Linux operating system.
Required Libraries
Linux systems must include these libraries for Enterprise Console operation:
libaio
numactl
package, which includeslibnuma.so.1
for RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora, andli
bnuma1
for Ubuntu and Debianglibc2.12
This
glibc
version is included into a given operating system release, and therefore cannot be updated.tzdata
for RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, , openSUSE Leap 12 and Leap 15, and Ubuntu version 16 and higherThe
tzdata
package is also required by the MySQL connector.libncurses5
(and above) for Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, openSUSE Leap 12 and Leap 15, and Amazon Linux 2As of MySQL 5.5.57 and 5.7.19,
libtinfo.so.5
is a required prerequisite library.ncurses-libs-5.x
for RHEL and CentOSAs of MySQL 5.5.57 and 5.7.19,
libtinfo.so.5
is a required prerequisite library.- SLES12 and SLES15 using
libxml2-2
andlibxml2-tools
This table provides instructions on how to install the libraries on some common flavors of the Linux operating system.
If you cannot install the library, check that you have a supported version of your Linux flavor.
Linux Flavor | Command |

openSUSE Leap 12 and Leap 15 | Use
Ensure that only one package For openSUSE Tumbleweed run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:amshinde/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:amshinde.repo zypper refresh zypper install tzdata For openSUSE Leap 42.1 run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:amshinde/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/home:amshinde.repo zypper refresh zypper install tzdata For openSUSE 13.2 run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:amshinde/openSUSE_13.2/home:amshinde.repo zypper refresh zypper install tzdata For openSUSE 13.1 run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:amshinde/openSUSE_13.1/home:amshinde.repo zypper refresh zypper install tzdata
You may run into file conflicts when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you choose to continue, the old files and their contents will be replaced. See the openSUSE website (https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aamshinde&package=tzdata) to manually download and install the tzdata package. |
SLES12 and SLES15 | Use

See Platform Requirements for operating system support information.
High Availability Requirements
You must install rsync
if you plan on deploying a Controller (HA) pair. In addition, when using SSH or an SSH client, note that OpenSSH 5.3p1 is the minimum version supported by the Enterprise Console for HA.
Supported SSH Key Exchanges, Cipher Algorithms, MAC and Host Key Type
You can use these ssh
key exchanges, cipher algorithms, MAC types, and host key types to customize the ssh
configuration on your host(s):
