Important Notes
Note: as of version 5.3, Statseeker requires CPUs which support the SSE4.2 instruction set.
- Physical server hardware requirements depend on the size of the network being monitored and the type and volume of data being collected, stored, and processed
- Statseeker recommends the use of a single large disk or disks configured as RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 10
- Please contact our Customer Satisfaction Team at customerservice@statseeker.com for any bespoke Netflow or Syslog requirements as this does affect the server memory/disk configuration when deploying such a solution
- Virtual machine hardware recommendations are designed for deployment on VMware, specific requirements may vary depending on your virtualization platform and environment. In addition:
- The RAM and CPU must be dedicated, not shared resources
- Disks should be thick-provisioned (pre-allocate the required disk-space). We recommend using thick provisioning with most Statseeker installations when running on VMware.
- Network Interface Controller should be VMXNET3
Hardware Requirements

Meraki Network Monitoring
If your Statseeker server will also be monitoring Meraki environments, then the following should be considered in addition to the requirements presented above.
- RAM - an additional 2GB will be consumed by Meraki monitoring processes (the size/number of Meraki environments monitored does affect this)
- Data Storage - assume a maximum of 3GB of storage per year per 1000 Meraki interfaces polled
- CPU - Meraki monitoring is not CPU intensive, no additional requirements
Browser Version - Support for Statseeker Web Interface
Statseeker offers a web UI as the primary method for interacting with Statseeker and the data that Statseeker collects. We support the latest stable (non-BETA) versions of:
- Edge
- Firefox
- Chrome
- Safari
The use of older (or less common) browsers may result in the reduced functionality of Statseeker.
