  1. Database
    Your current port number will be displayed.
    Keep in mind that the port number varies according to the selected transfer protocol option.
    The default port for a server which will be accessible via HTTP is 80, the default port for the activated HTTPS option is 443.
    For example, if you change the port number to 8080 and choose "enable HTTPS" afterwards, the port number will be changed to the default value 443.
    Also please be aware that for every BVQ port change, you have to adjust the Grafana datasource. 

    Grafana configuration is the Grafana port, which will be used by the BVQ installed Grafana.

    The heap sizes are configured for both the BVQ Server which will run as a Webserver and the scanner service which will collect the data of the systems you will be scanning.
    If the number of scanners will increase considerably in the future, the specific values can be adjusted accordingly.
    BVQ Server max heap size = 4096 MB is recommended (depending on the environment).
    BVQ Scanner max heap size = 1024MB is recommended (depending on the environment).

    Select HTTPS to be enabled if you choose to.The "Database server access" values are used by BVQ for the internal communication between the database and the BVQ Server,
