Whether installing antivirus or any monitoring agent in existing infrastructure will cause any impact in UiPath Orchestrator server and Robot machines?
Whether installing antivirus or any monitoring agent in existing infrastructure will cause any impact in UiPath Orchestrator server and Robot machines depends on several factors:
Factors to consider:
- Specific antivirus software: Different antivirus programs have varying levels of compatibility with other software applications. Check the compatibility list of your chosen antivirus with UiPath Orchestrator and Robot versions.
- Antivirus configuration: Configure specific exclusions or settings within the antivirus software to avoid interference with UiPath processes. Refer to UiPath documentation or contact the antivirus vendor for guidance.
- System resources: Antivirus software can impact system resources like CPU and disk usage. Ensure server and Robots have sufficient resources to handle both UiPath and the antivirus program efficiently.
Recommendations:
- Perform pre-installation checks: Conduct compatibility tests and resource analysis before deploying the antivirus software on the UiPath environment.
- Monitor performance: After installation, closely monitor the Orchestrator server and Robot machines for any performance degradation or error messages.
Possible scenarios:
- No issues: In most cases, properly configured antivirus software shouldn't significantly impact UiPath operations.
- Minor performance impact: You might experience slight resource consumption increase, potentially requiring optimization adjusts.
- Specific conflicts: Depending on your environment and antivirus/monitoring agent configuration, certain features or processes might malfunction. You'll need to troubleshoot and adjust settings accordingly.
Always prioritize caution and thorough testing before introducing new software like antivirus to the critical business systems.
Observe the above provided information to make an informed decision and implement the antivirus/monitoring agent software with minimal disruption to the UiPath environment.
