System Requirements

Tripwire Log Center system requirements for next generation SIEM

The system requirements for Tripwire® Log Center® vary based on the number of devices sending log data, the volume of log data being processed, and the number of concurrent tasks—for example, alerting, searching, or reporting—being performed. If you have higher volume installations, take advantage of the fact that Tripwire Log Center is software-based and not an appliance, so data collection, log management and database servers can execute on separate systems.
