Prerequisites and compatibility

Prerequisite

Vigilens Server

Hard

Soft

Shared directory

If it doesn't already exist, create a shared directory accessible for reading and writing by all Vigilens users. This directory can be located on the target machine or on any other machine. Bear in mind, however, that using Vigilens requires regular access to this directory, so you'll need to choose one that can be accessed quickly.

User accounts & Rights

Databases

For each database Vigilens needs to connect to, set up a database account with sufficient permissions to view the contents of the system schema

Specific requirements for the web interface

The web interface can be installed on the Vigilens server, otherwise the Vigilens server requirements apply to the Vigilens Web server.

The installation of the Vigilens Web part integrates the following software:

  • Python 3.4 (This is a copy available only for the Vigilens application. So if you are already using a Python environment, there will be no conflict)
  • Postgresql 10 (A new instance specific to Vigilens is installed for the website own data)

The new website uses the CherryPy server available in python to handle HTTP requests. It is possible to configure this web server using the application WebConfig.

Compatibility

Supported Windows Versions

Vigilens supports all versions of Windows greater than or equal to Windows 7.

Supported Browser Versions

The website is supported by all recent browsers.

In the case of Internet Explorer, it's the renderer version. For example, if the browser used is Internet Explorer 10 but it is set to be in Internet Explorer 7 compatibility mode, some features of Vigilens de will not be operational.
