Installation
Introduction¶
Installation is done in two parts: Epoch AOC and the Epoch Collectors.
The collectors are installed on your application instances (VMs or containerized environments) and mirror the service interactions & metrics back to Epoch AOC for real-time analysis.
You may install the collectors in a variety of environments, independent of the AOC environment. For instance, you may run the AOC as a standalone docker container, but install the collectors in Kubernetes.

|---|---|
| vCPUs | 8 (or more) |
| Memory | 32 GiB (or more) |
| Disk | 1 TB (or more) |
Ports and Firewall Rules¶
Inbound¶
Please open the inbound ports listed below. The "Your Private Subnet" source refers to the subnet where you are installing the collectors.
| Port | Protocol | Source | Description | Default requirement (yes/no) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 443 | TCP | Public | HTTPS web interface, Collector download/upgrade | yes |
| 80 | TCP | Public | HTTP web interface | no |
| 2000 | TCP | Public | Collectors control channel | yes |
| 2001 | TCP | Public | Metrics and events channel | yes |
| 2003 | TCP | Your Private Subnet | RPCAP control channel | no |
| 3003 | TCP | Your Private Subnet | RPCAP data channel | no |
| 2003 | UDP | Your Private Subnet | RPCAP data channel | no |
AOC Deployment Behind a Load Balancer
- If you wish, you may also open port
22 (TCP)forSSHaccess. - If you are deploying Epoch AOC behind a load balancer, make sure to use layer 4 load balancing instead of layer 7 to properly proxy WebSocket connections.
- Please ensure that your Epoch AOC instance is reachable from the network where you are installing the collectors.
Outbound¶
Epoch requires an open channel to a license site for verifying your license key.
Thus, ensure that you can reach lm.epoch.nutanix.com on port 443 from where you are running Epoch AOC.
Usage¶
You may access the Epoch AOC Web UI at:
