Installation

  • Environment : Redhat/Centos 6.6  ( 64bits )
  • Automatic Installation :
    •  « Un-tar » the package.
      • This will create a shinken-enterprise repository that contains the installation script and all the necessary dependencies.

    • Launch the install.sh command that is at the root of the shinken-enterprise repository
      • it will install automatically Shinken Enterprise and its components.
      • However, the VMWare Sdk will require a manual installation.
        • The commands needed to launch this installation are visible at the and of the install.sh.
        • We do recommend to launch it directly after the installation, even if you can postpone it.

    • Launch the shinken-healthcheck command
      • It will check if Shinken Enterprise is well configured and up and running.

 

The full installation will do on the same server:

  • install Shinken Enterprise Engine, modules and dependencies.
  • activate all daemons (Synchronizer, Arbiter, Scheduler, Poller, Reactionner, Broker, Receiver).

For distributed architecture, see Installation (Advanced Mode)

Update

  • Environment :    Redhat/Centos 6.6  ( 64bits ) with a  02.03.XX version of Shinken Entreprise already installed.
  • Automatic Update:
    •  « Un-tar » the package.
      • This will create a shinken-enterprise repository that contains the installation script and all the necessary dependencies.

    • Launch the update.sh script
      • It will update Shinken Entreprise ( it will not have any impact on the configuration file/etc/shinken, so that there is no risk to erase any configuration already done before ).

    • Launch the shinken-healthcheck command
      • It will check that Shinken Enterprise is well installed and configured.

Installation (Advanced Mode)

  • Advanced Partial Automatic Installation (enable only selected daemons) :

    • « untar » the package.
      • This will create a shinken-enterprise repository that contains the installation script and all the necessary dependencies.

    • Launch the install.sh command that is at the root of the shinken-enterprise repository but with options based on the daemons you want to be enabled on your system:

      • --pollernode: enable the Poller daemon (launch checks)

      • --reactionnernode: enable the Reactionner daemon (launch notifications)

      • --schedulernode: enable the scheduler daemon (schedule checks)

      • --arbiternode: enable the arbiter daemon (central distribution role)

      • --receivernode: enable the receiver daemon (receive checks)

      • --synchronizernode: enable the Synchronizer daemon (manage configuration)

      • --brokernode: enable the broker daemon (export data)

 

You can for example install Shinken Enterprise and directly activate the Scheduler and a Poller at the time by typing ./install.sh --schedulernode --pollernode


    • Launch the shinken-healthcheck command
      • It will check that Shinken Enterprise is well installed and configured and that daemons are running well (only those enabled).

  • After the initial installation, It is useless to relaunch the install.sh command to activate/de-activate daemons
