Silent mode

In silent mode, a properties file is used to feed in the installation parameters. The file consists of a list of key-value pairs, which are described in the following table.

To run the installer in silent mode:

Linux® - Foglight only

Foglight-5_9_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i silent

Linux® - Foglight Evolve only

Foglight-Evolve-x_x_x-install_linux-x86_64.bin -i silent

To use a specific properties file in silent mode, append the following option:

-f <fms_silent_install>.properties

The installer loads the specified properties file. When the file name and installer prefix are the same, the installer uses the properties automatically.

 

NOTE: In certain configurations the Management Server uses ports in addition to the ones that you set using the silent installer. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for details.

 

The following table lists the properties available for configuring a silent installation, and their default values.

Installing Foglight

The Foglight installer allows you either to install a new instance of the Foglight Management Server or to upgrade an existing installation of a Foglight Management Server. This guide provides the procedures for a new installation of the Management Server. For upgrade procedures, see the Upgrade Guide.

 

NOTE: The Management Server should be installed on a dedicated machine.

For more details, see these topics:

•	Installing a new version of the Management Server

•	Installed directories

•	Foglight settings

•	Uninstalling Foglight

•	Upgrading the Management Server

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.

 

NOTE: The installer does not allow installing Foglight with embedded PostgreSQL® as root on Unix.

•	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.

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 installer offers two installation options:

•	Standard — This option accepts all of the installer defaults, and installs an embedded PostgreSQL® database only. To use this option, follow the instructions in Installing the Management Server - Standard Install option.

•	Custom — This option allows you to modify the installer defaults, and to choose an external database type. To use this option, follow the instructions in Installing the Management Server - Custom Install option.

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