If you are finding that Open-AudIT is running slowly, memory and fast disk are your biggest friends. Open-AudIT uses MySQL for it's database, so anything you can do to speed up MySQL will benefit Open-AudIT. MySQL is a fairly typical database - memory and fast disk work wonders (smile)(smile)

OS

The operating systems we support Open-AudIT on are:

  • Windows Server 2016 and up (Windows 10 not supported) - must be 64bit.
  • Linux - RedHat / CentOS 78 & 9, Debian 9 11 & 1012, Ubuntu 1820.04 & 2022.04 - all must be 64bit.

Open-AudIT uses Apache, PHP and MySQL along with Perl, vbscript, bash script and various other technologies. These are all included with your operating system or included in the downloadable Open-AudIT package. There is one exception to this, which is NMAP on Windows. NMAP must be downloaded and installed by the user. Linux versions of Open-AudIT use the NMAP package provided by the distribution which the installer will prompt you for.

Please install the latest Visual C runtime from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Microsoft Windows desktop systems have network limitations that may impact the performance of Open-AudIT. The TCP/IP stack limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts. After the limit is reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved at a fixed rate (10 per second). If too many enter the queue, they may be dropped. For this reason, installing Open-AudIT on a Windows desktop operating system is not supported.

Prerequisites - Linux

The required packages should be installed by the Open-AudIT installer. The required packages are detailed on this page - How To Install or Upgrade Open-AudIT (Linux).
