15.3.2.4. Service Manager Installation on Unix

To install the Service Manager find the file named mysqlmonitor-version-installer.bin (where version indicates the version number, the OS, and the architecture ). Ensure that this file is executable by typing: 

shell> chmod +x mysqlmonitor-version-installer.bin

To install to the default directory (/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor) you need to be logged in as root. Installing as an unprivileged user installs to the /home/user_name/mysql/enterprise/monitor/ directory.

What follows describes installation from the command line. You may install the Service Manager graphically by running the installer from within a windows manager. In both cases the steps are identical. You may also install the Service Manager in unattended mode. This is especially useful if you are doing multiple installations. For more information on this topic see Section 15.3.4, “Unattended Installation”.

  1. Begin installation by typing: 

      shell> ./mysqlmonitor-version-installer.bin

    You will also be asked if SSL support is required. SSL support allows your agents and monitor to communicate with each other using SSL. Using SSL means that the data exchanged by the agent and MySQL Enterprise Service Manager are secure and can be used to monitor servers securely, or to monitor agents over a public connection.

    You can enable SSL by pressing Y when prompted during installation:
