After you install the Enterprise Console, you can complete the platform installation process with the GUI. The following steps describe how to install a Controller with an embedded Events Service. It then describes how to scale up the Events Service to run on a separate host. To install a Controller with a scaled-up (unembedded) Events Service, see Custom Install.
You can install the Events Service on a separate host directly by selecting a Custom Installation at step 2.
- Open a browser and navigate to the GUI:
http(s)://<hostname>:<port>
9191 is the default port.
- Select Express Install to install a Controller and Events Service on a shared host.
- In the Add a Host section, choose Use Enterprise Console Host. This option installs a Controller with an embedded Events Service on the same host as the Enterprise Console.
- Choose Demo as the Controller profile if you are just getting to know the system.
- Fill out the Controller configuration fields as indicated. See Express Install for details. You now have a running, testable system and can deploy agents. Next, we'll walk you through the steps for scaling up the Events Service. A scaled-up deployment is strongly recommended for installations meant for something other than for demonstration or exploratory purposes.
