GUI Installation Quick Start

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.

  1. Open a browser and navigate to the GUI: 
    http(s)://<hostname>:<port>
    9191 is the default port.
  2. Select Express Install to install a Controller and Events Service on a shared host.
  3. 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.
  4. Choose Demo as the Controller profile if you are just getting to know the system.
  5. 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.
