Each appliance in your ScienceLogic configuration can be run as a virtual machine.
For details about supported hypervisors and the requirements and specifications for each SL1 appliance, see the ScienceLogic Support Site: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/system-requirements
Use the following menu options to navigate the SL1 user interface:
- To view a pop-out list of menu options, click the menu icon (
). - To view a page containing all of the menu options, click the Advanced menu icon (

Caveats
Microsoft Hyper-V Linux Integration software cannot be installed on any SL1 appliances.
ScienceLogic databases have a very high bandwidth of memory changes under normal operations, often in excess of 10Gb/sec. This rate of memory change limits the feasibility of VM live migration methods (such as vMotion) for SL1 appliances because on moderately large databases, the rate of memory change is too high to be synchronized between hosts over a 10Gb/sec ethernet link.
The following requirements apply to all virtualized appliances:
- Fixed storage is required. Dynamically-expanding storage is not supported.
- Memory over-commit is not supported. In the case of VMware, this means that 100% of memory must be reserved for all ScienceLogic appliances.
- Running SL1 on a virtualization server that is close to capacity will result in unexpected behavior.
