What are the key processes running in a vRealize Log Insight appliance, and what roles do they play?
The appliance runs several Java processes: the main `LogInsightDaemon` (with embedded Tomcat for the web UI), a `vI18nManager` jar for localization, and an Apache Cassandra database process for log storage. The Cassandra process uses JMX for management and is configured with heap settings like `-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M`. Understanding these components is essential for vulnerability research, as found in the full setup guide in [vRealize Log Insight Vulnerability Debugging Environment Setup](/news/vrealize-log-insight-vulnerability-debugging-environment).
