  |   | Connecting Dashboard to ASE is optional. Functionality like adding discovered APIs to ASE and attack management will be limited. |

**Port numbers**: The following is a list of default port numbers. Make sure that these are available for installingPingIntelligence Dashboard.

* **PingIntelligence Dashboard server**: 8030. Port number 8030 should be exposed to public internet. Make sure that your organization's firewall allow access to this port.

* **Elasticsearch**: 9200

* **Dataengine**: 8040

* **H2 database**: 9092. H2 database is installed and runs as a part of PingIntelligence Dashboard.

**Operating system configurations**: Modify the following settings for the operating system:

* Increase the `ulimit` to 65536

  ```
  # sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=65536
  # sudo sysctl -p
  ```

* Increase the `vm.max_map_count` limit to 262144

  ```
  # sudo echo "vm.max_map_count=262144" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
  # sudo sysctl -p
  ```

* **JDK installation**: Set environment variable `JAVA_HOME` to `<jdk_install_dir>` directory and add `<jdk_install_dir>/bin` to system `PATH` variable. `<jdk_install_dir>` is the directory where JDK is installed.
