 Sensor requirements

The host
Windows Server
 into which the
Windows Server
 Sensor is installed must meet the following minimum requirements, regardless of whether it is a physical or virtual server:
Component
Specification
Host requirements
  • CPU: Xeon Core 2 virtual cores (2.0 GHz or more)
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Disk space (SSD): 64 GB
OS version
Windows Server
 2008 R2 (or later)
OS updates
As a best practice, use
Windows
 Update to ensure that the
Windows Server
 software is up-to-date and all pending updates are complete before installing the Windows Server Sensor.
The
Windows Server
 Sensor includes the
AI_ChainedPackageFile.vc_redist.x64.exe
 redistributable from
Microsoft
 which requires the following packages:
  • KB2919355
  • KB2999226
Firewall ports
Open TCP port 8889 to receiver-cylancemdr.stellarcyber.cloud
Other software considerations
To avoid potential conflicts with antivirus or EDR software, configure any such software that's installed on the same host as the
Windows Server
 Sensor to exclude the server sensor installation directories from scanning. Exclude the following directories on the
Windows Server
 Sensor host:
  • C:\ProgramData\Stellarcyber
  • C:\Program Files\Aella
