Before installing an Agent or Proxy Manager, it is necessary to obtain information about the server on which it is to be installed.
Refer to "2.2 Agent/Proxy Manager" to confirm the installation conditions.
This information must be collected prior to installation.
When the installer starts, it prompts the user to specify the following items. Therefore, before starting the installation process, check or decide which settings to use.
Windows
Prompt item | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Installation directory | This is the path to the directory where fixed resources such as execution modules are installed. | C:\Program Files\SystemwalkerSQC |
Variable file directory | This is the path to the directory where files that change during operation are stored. | C:\SystemwalkerSQC |
Alert action when thresholds are exceeded | Select either "Event log" or "Centric Manager message linkage" as the notification method to use when thresholds are exceeded. If Systemwalker Centric Manager is installed on the same machine, selecting "Centric Manager message linkage" will cause threshold violations to be notified to Centric Manager. Note that in addition to the event log and Centric Manager event linkage, mail and trap notifications can also be used to notify threshold violations. | Event log |
Manager address | This is the host name or IP address of the Manager that this Agent will connect to. Note If the Manager has a cluster configuration, specify either a logical host name or a logical IP address. For relay model operations using Proxy Managers, specify the address of the Proxy Manager. | None *Setting is required even if a default value is not set. |
Log data (Troubleshoot) retention period | Specify the retention period for troubleshooting information between 1 and 30 days. | 7 days |
UNIX
Prompt item | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Installation directory | This is the path to the directory where fixed resources such as execution modules are installed. | /opt |
Definition file directory | This is the path to the directory where definition files that are referenced during operation are stored. | /etc/opt |
Variable file directory | This is the path to the directory where files that change during operation are stored. | /var/opt |
Alert action when thresholds are exceeded | Select either "syslog" (output message to the event log) or "centric" (Centric Manager message linkage) as the alert action taken when thresholds are exceeded. If "Centric Manager event linkage" is selected, alerts will be sent to Centric Manager when thresholds are exceeded. For this option, Systemwalker Centric Manager must be installed on this same machine. Note that in addition to the event log and Centric Manager message linkage, mail and trap notifications can also be used to notify threshold violations. | syslog |
Manager address | This is the host name or IP address of the Manager that this Agent will connect to. Note If the Manager has a cluster configuration, specify either a logical host name or a logical IP address. For relay model operations using Proxy Managers, specify the address of the Proxy Manager. | None *Setting is required even if a default value is not set. |
Log data (Troubleshoot) retention period | Specify the retention period for troubleshooting information between 1 and 30 days. | 7 days |
