Abstract

The required bandwidth and node synchronization for Cortex XSOAR On-prem to operate properly.

You need the following download bandwidth and node synchronization for Cortex XSOAR to operate properly.

Bandwidth requirement

The minimum required download bandwidth is 10Mbit/s for successful Cortex XSOAR upgrades and Marketplace operations.

NTP requirement

Ensure all nodes are synchronized with no NTP offset in order to prevent degraded storage performance.

Tip

For optimal time synchronization, it is best practice to specify either a single NTP server or at least three servers. Configuring three or more servers enables establishing a quorum, which improves synchronization reliability and allows better detection and resolution of discrepancies between time sources.
