This page provides information on installing, configuring, and administering an on-premises Splunk AppDynamics deployment.

Installation Overview

Before you install the platform, review the requirements for the components you plan to install and prepare the host machines. The requirements vary based on the components you deploy and the size of your deployment.

For the Controller and Events Service, you first need to install the Splunk AppDynamics Enterprise Console. You then use the application to deploy the Controller and Events Service. Note that the Events Service can be deployed as a single node or a cluster. The Enterprise Console is not only the installer for the Controller and Events Service; it can manage the entire lifecycle of new or existing Splunk AppDynamics Platforms and components.

You cannot use the Enterprise Console to perform the End User Monitoring (EUM) Server installation. Instead, you must use a package installer that supports interactive GUI or console modes, or a silent response file installation.

Follow these tasks before you start the installation process for the Splunk AppDynamics APM Platform:

• Review the Platform Requirements.
• Verify the Enterprise Console host meets the requirements to host the application and the Controller since they share the same host by default for Express Install. You do have the option to install the Enterprise Console on a different host than the Controller's using Custom Install.

• On Linux, verify that you have assigned execute permissions to the installation script with the following command:

  chmod 775 platform-setup-64bit-linux.sh

You can get the software for installing the platform components from the Splunk AppDynamics download site. See Cisco AppDynamics Downloads Portal.
