You can install and deploy Metalogix Diagnostic Manager in any network environment. You must have at least one Microsoft SharePoint farm deployed to use Metalogix Diagnostic Manager.
Installing and Deploying
This procedure guides you through a typical install of Metalogix Diagnostic Manager. You can choose to install some or all of Metalogix Diagnostic Manager components on a given computer.
You can install the Management Console on any computer on your network that meets the requirements or on multiple computers on your network.
You install a single copy of the Collection Service, which collects data from all monitored farms. The computer that hosts the Collection Service does not need to be a member of a SharePoint farm.
Use the solution installer to install the solution on a single Web front end (WFE) server in each SharePoint farm you monitor. SharePoint automatically replicates the solution to each WFE.
To install components:
1 Using an account that meets Account Requirements for the component(s) you are installing, log on to the computer where you want to install the component(s).
2 Close all open applications.
3 To launch the installer, double-click the Diagnostic_Manager executable.
4 In the Welcome dialog, click [Next]. The wizard verifies that it can install the solution. If the Component Analysis Solution Installer can install, click [Next]. If the wizard detects a problem, click Abort to exit the wizard, correct the problem, and then repeat the installation.
