Master Infrastructure Guide

1. Overview

This document defines the infrastructure, system, network, and deployment requirements for:

• Productivity Discovery
• Work Optimization Platform  (Process Automation)

These requirements apply to both cloud and on-premises deployments, where applicable.

2. Productivity Discovery

2.1 Server Requirements

Cloud Deployment

On-Premises Deployment

Operating Systems (Server):

• Windows Server 2019 or 2022
• Linux (Ubuntu or Red Hat)

2.2 End User System Requirements

Hardware

• Disk: Minimum 5 GB HDD (flash storage preferred)
• Additional 1 GB for one-day offline data collection
• RAM: Minimum 1 GB available (2 GB recommended) for Discovery Agent

Operating System

• Windows 11

Browser

• Google Chrome (required)

Software Dependencies

• Microsoft C++ Redistributable (included in installation package)

2.3 Network Requirements

• HTTPS access to HuLoop server on port 443
• Minimum 10 Mbps intranet link (100 Mbps recommended)
• Bandwidth requirements depend on deployment size

Estimated Desktop Load

• RAM usage: ~700 MB
• CPU usage: ~2%
• Network upload: 2–5 MB per hour (structured data)
• 10 MB per hour if image capture is enabled
• Download from server: 5 KB – 10 MB per setup

Actual utilization depends on:

• User activity
• System configuration
• Screenshot frequency
• Monitoring configuration
• Installed hardware

2.4 End User Configuration Requirements

Anti-Virus Configuration

Add the following processes as trusted:

• KYPClient.exe
• KypBootstrapper.exe
• KypAppUtility.exe
• KypUpdater.exe
• KypSupervisor.exe
• Javaw.exe
• KypAiClient_{instance}.exe
• KypPerfGuard.exe
• KypMonitor.exe

Additional Configuration

• Chrome Developer Tools enabled (port 9222)
• HuLoop client installed with local administrator rights
• PowerShell execution enabled
• No proxy for localhost-to-localhost communication

2.5 Deployment Methods

Microsoft SCCM (Software Center)

• Deploy via MSI package
• All parameters must be provided in the msiexec command

Example:

msiexec /i “KypMsi_Discovery.msi” /quiet SERV_URL=”https://server” ADMIN_URL=”https://admin”

Microsoft Intune (Win32 App Deployment)

Requirements:

• Windows 10 version 1607 or later (Enterprise, Pro, Education)
• Device enrolled in Intune
• Azure AD joined or Hybrid Azure AD joined
• MSI installer format
• App size < 8 GB

Detection rule recommendation:

• Use MSI product code (manual detection rule recommended)

Advanced Installation Parameters

3. Work Optimization Platform (Process Automation)

3.1 Server Requirements

Cloud Deployment

On-Premises Deployment

Operating Systems (Server):

• Windows Server 2019 or 2022
• Linux (Ubuntu or Red Hat)

A valid .pfx type SSL certificate for your domain (wildcard certs are what are normally used)

3.2 End User Automation Build Requirements

Minimum Hardware:

• Standard laptop, desktop, or VM
• 16 GB RAM minimum

Operating Systems:

• Windows 10 (64-bit recommended)
• Windows Server 2019

Software Requirements:

• Microsoft Office
• HuLoop Recorder (Chrome extension)
• Optional (mobile automation):
  • Appium
  • Android SDK
  • Xcode (iOS)

3.3 Network Requirements

• The following ports must be opened on the HuLoop Server to the End User Automation machines
  • 443 for HTTPS
  • 9191 for reporting service
  • 8443 for workflow service
• The following ports must be opened on the HuLoop Server to the machine the deployment is initiated from. This should be a machine internal to your network that HuLoop DevOps can access with your permission.
  • 22 for SSH access during deployment
• VPN or Remote Desktop access to automation machine
• Internet access

Administrator privileges are required for:

• Installation
• Configuration
• Execution of required components

Additional software may be required depending on the application being automated.
