Detail

Hi,
I'd like to set up a desktop node (https://docs.securityonion.net/en/2.4/desktop.html) that, once set up, should join the existing grid. Setup should be as a VM.

How about HW-requirements for desktop nodes? (AFAIK desktop nodes aren't part of the data path, i.e. packet capture -> Indexing etc.)

Thanks much in advance for any clue.

You could probably use the specs for an import node and be fine. https://docs.securityonion.net/en/2.4/hardware.html#minimum-specs

Hi,
Thanks alot - I'll start with that and in case something doesn't work, I'll add additional virtual hardware ;-)
