Insights user guide

Last updated May 7, 2026

Hardware and Software Requirements

Important:

Please note that this is a change from our HW/SW specs from Insights 2021.10. Insights 2021.10 requires a single Windows machine, while Insights 2023.10 requires a Windows machine and a Linux machine with RHEL. In 2021.10, the Insights Windows machine ran Docker which hosted the Looker Linux container. Starting with Windows 2022, the driver used to nest the Linux containers in Windows OS (called lcow) isn't supported anymore by Microsoft for enterprise applications. As a result, we had to change our deployment architecture to require two machines - one Windows machine to run the UiPath Insights components, and a Linux machine to run the Looker container. With this change, enterprise support is available from OS vendors for the components needed to run UiPath products. The supported versions of Linux OS are the same that Automation Suite supports.

Note:

Insights isn't supported on FIPS 140-2 enabled host machines.

Hardware Requirements​

These requirements are only applicable to the machine where Insights is installed.

Insights Windows Machine​

Important:

Insights must be installed on its own machine; it cannot be co-hosted with Orchestrator.

CPU (cores)System Memory (GB)Available Storage (GB)Examples
Required Hardware41632AWS t2.xlarge or Azure D4s_v3

Insights Linux Machine​

The following table lists the hardware requirements for hosting the Insights Linux Machine.

Important:

For air-gapped environments, make sure that the following volumes have enough available space:

  • /home: over 4Gb.

  • /var: over 10GB.

    Required Hardware41632AWS t2.xlarge or Azure D4s_v3
Note:
  • An SSL certificate is needed for HTTPS.
  • Make sure that ip_forward is enabled.
  • The user.max_user_namespaces OS setting shouldn't be set to 0.

Ports​

Make sure the following ports are externally accessible and no other service uses these ports:

Inbound Ports Machine
443:::note This is the default port, and you can change it to any available port ::: Insights Windows Machine
9999:::note This is the Looker port. ::: Insights Linux Machine
19999:::note This is the Looker API port. ::: Insights Linux Machine
29999:::note This is the LookML update port. ::: Insights Linux Machine

For instructions on how to open an inbound port in AWS, see Authorizing access to an instance. For instructions on how to open an inbound port in Azure, see NSG Quickstart Portal.

Note:

Make sure that the hostnames for both the Insights Windows Machine and the Insights Linux Machine are resolvable within your DNS.

SQL Requirements​

Note:

For best performance, consider hosting the Insights database on a dedicated machine. If you currently have a Small-Scale deployment or are evaluating Insights, you might have both Orchestrator and Insights databases on the same machine. If you start noticing performance issues, you can move the Insights database to a dedicated machine. The following compute resources were used during our tests:

  • Intel® E5-2673 v4 (Broadwell) 2.3 GHz
  • Intel® SP-8160 (Skylake)
  • Intel® 8272CL (Cascade Lake) 2.5 GHz
  • Intel® Xeon Platinum 8307C (Ice Lake)
  • AMD EPYC 7763v (Milan) Public access to the SQL master database is required for the service account running Insights and not just the AutomationSuite_Insights database. This is necessary both for installation and for future upgrades.

Note:

If you require over 200 million rows, contact your UiPath representative.

Software Requirements​

Note:

Both the Orchestrator and Insights major versions need to match. For example, if you have upgraded Orchestrator to 2025.10.X, you need to run a 2025.10.X version of Insights to establish proper communication between the two UiPath products. In addition, Insights should always be upgraded to the latest version. For example, if Orchestrator is at version 2025.10.0, it is still recommended to update Insights to the latest 2025.10 version available.

Database​

SoftwareCompatible Version
SQL Machine2022, 2019
Note:
  • SQL Server Enterprise is recommended due to more efficient threading and scalability.
  • Insights requires the SQL Server to have support for columnstore index and .json functions.
  • For Azure SQL, ensure the database is S3 tier or above.
  • Make sure the compatibility level for Insights database is set to 150 or higher ("SELECT compatibility_level from sys.databases WHERE name = '{dbName}'). In most cases, the default settings meet this requirement. For more information, refer to View or Change the Compatibility level of a Database - SQL Server.
  • You have to use SSH into the Insights Linux server, to run specific commands. Make sure you have the proper rights and authorizations beforehand.
