  • Launch the install.sh command that is at the root of the shinken-entreprise repository
    • it will install automatically Shinken Enterprise and its componants.
    • However, the VMWare Sdk will require a manual installation.
      • The commands needed to launch this installation are visible at the and of the instal.sh.
      • We do recommand to launch it directly after the installation, even if you can postpone it.
        
        
  • Launch the shinken-healthcheck command
    • It will check if shinken is well configured and up and running.

• • 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 ).

Installation (Advanced Mode)

• Advanced Partial Automatic Installation (enable only selected daemons) :
  • « untar » the package.
    • This will create a shinken-entreprise repository that contains the installation script and all the necessary dependencies.
      
      
  • Launch the install.sh command that is at the root of the shinken-entreprise 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 exemple install a sheduler 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.
• Modifying daemons list after installation is possible with Daemons listing/enable/disable commands. Do not relaunch the install.sh command if you miss a daemon but instead use the shinken-daemons-enable command.
