Prerequisites

Analytics Dashboard Prerequisites

Must be a subscription-based Peer Global File Service customer.

Because the Analytics Dashboard relies on information in Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, the PMC and Health Checker servers must be able to get beyond any firewalls that would prevent access to Microsoft Azure.

For mobile access, the Power BI app must be installed on your mobile device.

Health Checker Prerequisites

While Peer Software’s Health Checker is a lightweight application, there are some minimum requirements that must be met to use the tool:

Windows Server 2012 operating system or later is required.

Virtual servers running on enterprise-class hypervisors are sufficient if they have a minimum of 2 processor cores, 2 GB of RAM, and 20 GB of free disk space.

SMB network access is required from the Health Checker server to all participating file servers and shares.

The Health Checker service must be run under a domain user account with the ability to create folders and files on all participating file servers and shares.

To provide failure and backlog alerting, the Health Checker should not be installed on any server that is already running the Peer Management Center or the Peer Agent. The Health Checker may be run on servers hosting other infrastructure (such as Active Directory Domain Controllers), provided that the requirements above are met.
