The Basic System

Basic System Hardware and Software Requirements

The basic GE Digital APM system consists of machines and software that are required for any GE Digital APM implementation to function. Implementation of the basic GE Digital APM system gives you the foundation-level analysis tools within GE Digital APM. This section of the documentation provides details on the hardware and software requirements for each machine within the basic system.

Other hardware and software may be required for a specific module or feature that is not required to deploy the basic GE Digital APM system. System requirements for specific modules and features are located in the documentation for that module or feature.

GE Digital APM Client

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware requirements outline the minimum hardware required for any machine or mobile device that will access the GE Digital APM system. These requirements account for the GE Digital APM software only. Additional hardware may be required on clients where other components are installed. These requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured.

Desktops and Laptops

Minimum requirements:

  • Two Processor Cores, 2 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB RAM recommended)
  • 8 GB of available hard drive space

Mobile Devices

You can use GE Digital APM on mobile devices either in the GE Digital APM mobile application or in the web browser on the device. The following information is generic and pertains to using the application on mobile devices in either of these scenarios. For specific information regarding the mobile application, see the GE Digital APM Mobile Application portion of the Getting Started section of this documentation.

Support for mobile devices is provided in two resolution view modes: full or limited. Full-resolution view mode supports access to the entire GE Digital APM system. Limited-resolution view mode supports limited access to overview pages and data collection. Resolution view mode is determined by the type of device that is used to access GE Digital APM, and is not a selectable option.

Note: Interaction with diagramming and design canvases is not available on touch-screen devices. If needed, use a mouse peripheral to utilize this functionality.

Software Requirements

The following software components are required on any machine or device that will access the GE Digital APM system using a browser. If the software meets the following requirements, you can access GE Digital APM using any operating system.

One of the following browsers is required for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices:

  • Google Chrome

    Note:
    • GE Digital APM V4.5.0.0.0 has been tested with Google Chrome version 84. To ensure you have the latest security updates, GE Digital recommends that you use the latest Google Chrome version available.

    • If your system uses Data Guardian from Koingo Software and you use the Google Chrome browser, you may have to use the browser in Incognito mode to successfully access GE Digital APM.

  • Internet Explorer 11
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 8 (Mac only)
Note:
  • You can access GE Digital APM via the browser on a mobile device, but it is recommended that you install and use the GE Digital APM mobile application for an enhanced experience. On a mobile device, to ensure that the mobile application works as intended, you should set your default browser to the desktop versions of Chrome or Internet Explorer (as opposed to the application versions).
  • The method used to access Reference Documents in the GE Digital APM mobile application will vary depending on your device platform. For example, on Windows and Android devices, the first time you access Reference Documents, you will be prompted to select the application in which you want to open a file, and this selection will then become the default. Apple iOS will always prompt you to select an application. On all platforms, you will also be prompted when the platform for your device does not recognize the file type that it is attempting to download.

Mobile Application Supported Operating Systems

Supported Operating Systems

Important:
  • Any management policy applied to mobile devices must be set up to allow the required permissions for the GE Digital APM mobile application. If restrictions are placed on iOS, Windows, or Android devices by a global policy or mobile device management system, device storage, scanning, photography, location services, and other functionality may be disabled.
  • If you are using a Windows device, ensure that Windows App Store access is enabled.
  • Ensure that the application is distributed to all relevant devices.

The following table lists the operating systems and corresponding versions that the GE Digital APM mobile application supports.

Operating SystemVersion(s) Supported
iOS11, 12, and 13
Android5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
WindowsWindows 10 (64 bit)
Note: The method used to access Reference Documents in the GE Digital APM mobile application will vary depending on your device platform. For example, on Windows and Android devices, the first time you access Reference Documents, you will be prompted to select the application in which you want to open a file, and this selection will then become the default. Apple iOS will always prompt you to select an application. On all platforms, you will also be prompted when the platform for your device does not recognize the file type that it is attempting to download.

GE Digital APM Server

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware requirements outline the minimum hardware required for any computer that will serve as the GE Digital APM Server. These requirements account for the GE Digital APM software only. Additional hardware may be required on a GE Digital APM Server machine on which other components are installed. These minimum requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured and the anticipated user load the system must service.

Application Server

  • Eight processor cores, 2+ GHz
  • 24 GB RAM
  • 100 GB of available hard drive space
  • 7.2K RPM drive

ActiveMQ Server

  • Four processor cores, 2+ GHz
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 100 GB of available hard drive space
  • 7.2K RPM drive

ElasticSearch Server

  • Eight processor cores, 2+ GHz
  • 24 GB RAM
  • 100 GB of available hard drive space
  • 7.2K RPM drive

Redis Server (Applicable to both Linux and Windows servers)

  • Four processor cores, 2+ GHz
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 100 GB of available hard drive space
  • 7.2K RPM drive

A minimum of a 100BASE-TX switched network is required between the GE Digital APM Server, ElasticSearch Server, and the Database Server with an average network latency < 100ms.

Note: For maximum system availability, we recommend deploying GE Digital APM servers in a clustered configuration to facilitate load balancing and failover in the event of a hardware problem. GE Digital APM supports Microsoft Clustering Services and Network Load Balancing for clustered deployment configurations.

If you are using a virtual machine (VM) to host your GE Digital APM Server, we recommend that:

  • You increase the physical server CPU and hard drive space requirements by 20% to ensure that the application will perform equivalently in a virtualized environment.
  • You double the physical server memory requirements.
  • Each VM has its own dedicated processor cores and memory allocation to ensure appropriate performance.

GE Digital APM supports Hyper-V and VMWare platforms.

These requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured and the anticipated user load. Parameters that affect the hardware requirements include the number of users, modules purchased, database size, and other factors that can vary from one customer to another. For help refining your specific system requirements, contact GE Digital APM .

Software Requirements

Application Server Requirements

The following software components are required on any machine that will serve as the GE Digital APM Server. This table is intended to be used as a reference of the behavior of the GE Digital APM Server and Add-ons installer as it relates to each component. In addition to the components that appear in this list, there are configuration settings that will need to be set depending upon your operating system.

A Windows Server 2016 Version 1607 operating system is required to properly run GE Digital APM software, and must be installed on the machine that will serve as the GE Digital APM Server. The GE Digital APM testing environment uses Windows Server 2016 Version 1607.
