About the Enterprise Console Installation

Though the Enterprise Console can run on the same host as the Controller and, if installed, the embedded Events Service, it is recommended that you install it on a separate host. Regardless, the machine that runs the Enterprise Console must meet the requirements for all the components that run on that machine, as outlined below.

The Enterprise Console and Controller must run on separate MySQL instances allowing the Enterprise Console to manage the Controller's instance independent of the Controller host, creating a lightweight setup that consumes less memory.

Warning: If you install the Enterprise Console on the Controller machine, it must be in a different directory in order to keep data separate. For instance, if the Controller is installed in /opt/appdynamics/controller, the Enterprise Console might be in /opt/appdynamics/enterpriseconsole.

You must also avoid port conflicts with the Controller database, which is 3388 by default, whereas the Enterprise Console database is 3377 by default.

The Enterprise Console installation path you choose must be writeable, i.e. the user who installed the Enterprise Console should have write permissions to that directory.

The Enterprise Console prevents multiple users from running commands at the same time. If a second user attempts to run a command while another command is in progress, the second command is not completed and an error message appears indicating that another command is in progress. To avoid such conflicts, the Enterprise Console should generally be used by a single user at a time.

You can enable HTTPS for the Enterprise Console during installation. See HTTPS Support for the Enterprise Console.

Warning: Cross-platform (OS) installation, e.g., installing the Enterprise Console on Linux and the Controller on Mac or Windows is not supported.
