Prerequisites for the Generic Scan-Agent Plugin

The following prerequisites are required to use the Code Insight generic scan-agent plugin:

  • A minimum of 4 GB Java heap space required for scanning (allocated to the JVM under which the scan-agent plugin will be executing)
  • 64-bit JRE 8 or JDK 11
  • Code Insight Core Server
  • Code Insight prerequisites described in Preparing to Use the Plugins
  • Internet access (recommended but not required):
    • If Internet access is available, the scan-agent will periodically download the latest security vulnerability definitions from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
    • If Internet access is not available, then the default signatures that were released with the latest version of Code Insight will be used.
