Intro

This guide provides instructions on how to install, configure and manage IntelMQ and it's components.

IntelMQ uses a message broker such as Redis. This is required for IntelMQ to run.

IntelMQ doesn't handle long term storage of processed Events beyond writing to a file. However it provides connectors (output bots) for writing events to various database systems and log collectors. It is recommended to configure such system to preserve processed events.

Base Requirements

The following instructions assume the following requirements. Python versions >= 3.7 are supported.

Supported and recommended operating systems are:

• Debian
• openSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap
• Ubuntu
• For the Docker-installation: Docker Engine: 18.x and higher

Other distributions which are (most probably) supported include AlmaLinux, CentOS, Fedora, FreeBSD 12, RHEL and RockyLinux.

A short guide on hardware requirements can be found on the page Hardware Requirements.
