Preparing to install

The requirements for installing Foglight are:

•
A machine to host the Management Server. The Management Server should run on a dedicated machine because it must process and store large volumes of data.
 
* 
NOTE: Ensure that a host name resolution and reverse lookup are confirmed prior to installing the Foglight Management Server.
NOTE: Link-local IPv6 addresses are not supported for the Management Server because many web browsers do not support link-local IPv6 addresses.
•
Administrator or root access to all machines requiring a Foglight agent.
•
An administrator password for Foglight. The user name foglight and the default password for this account can initially be used to log in to the browser interface and to use command-line interface options with root privileges. It is recommended that you change the default password for this account.
 
•
A user account on the machine where you are installing Foglight.
•
The IATEMPDIR environment variable is set to a location with sufficient space for installer self-extraction to meet the requirements described in the document available at: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/INFO/Q000054

Installing a new version of the Management Server

Once all system requirements are in place, you are ready to install the Management Server. The installer prompts you to input data, and shows progress during the installation process.

The Foglight installation process consists of the same basic steps for all platforms. For specific platform customizations, see Installed directories.

For more details, see these topics:

•
Foglight Server Startup page
•
Next steps
•
External MySQL database access for remote users
•
Embedded Agent Manager

Start the installation process by initiating the executable included on the Foglight installation media. Each installation screen includes a Previous button, allowing you to go back and adjust the information you have specified.
