CAUTION: When prompted by the
installer, review the IMPORTANT information about available options and recommendations
for using Elasticsearch with WhatsUp Gold before proceeding. Your selection must reflect
the needs of your specific network environment, how you intend to collect log data from
sources, and any security limitations under which you may be operating.
CAUTION: If you do not plan to use
Log Management features and as such do not need to install or use an Elasticsearch
database, please enable the applicable checkbox at the bottom of the
IMPORTANT Log Management Information dialog, then click
Next.
If your license includes Log Management features and
you would like to use a secure Elasticsearch instance, select Point to a
secure installation of Elasticsearch, then click
Next.
Important: This
option should be selected if you require a secure Log Management data store
and/or if you plan to deploy WhatsUp Gold Agents on your network. We strongly
recommend pointing to an existing, secure instance of Elasticsearch. If you do
not have a secure Elasticsearch database available for use with WhatsUp Gold,
please see the Knowledge Base article found here.
Enter name of the Elasticsearch host, applicable port number, and username and
password combination (if using a secure connection), then click
Next.
If your license includes Log Management features and
you would like to use the local Elasticsearch instance included with WhatsUp Gold,
select Install an open-source version of Elasticsearch with WhatsUp
Gold, then click Next.
Note: Please ensure your WhatsUp Gold server meets the
minimum recommended hardware specifications to adequately support Log
Management.
Select the destination folders for the ElasticSearch instance and data files,
then click Next.
Note: Please
ensure the selected drive contains the minimum recommended free space to
store log data.
Enter the HTTP and Transport port numbers for WhatsUp Gold to use for
communication with Elasticsearch, then click Next. The
default and recommended port numbers are 9200 and 9300, respectively.
