Hardware Requirements#

The hardware requirements for TheHive depend on factors such as the number of concurrent users (including integrations) and their usage patterns. Below are recommended hardware thresholds for hosting all services on the same machine:

Number of Users TheHive Cassandra Elasticsearch
< 10 2 / 2 GB 2 / 2 GB 2 / 2 GB
< 20 2-4 / 4 GB 2-4 / 4 GB 2-4 / 4 GB
< 50 4-6 / 8 GB 4-6 / 8 GB 4-6 / 8 GB

Note

When deploying all services on the same server, it's recommended to have at least 4 cores and 16 GB of RAM. Additionally, ensure that jvm.options is configured appropriately for Elasticsearch.
