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.

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 described in the document available at: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/INFO/Q000054
