Installing and Configuring on Unix
proxyHost: This parameter is applicable only if useProxy is set to y. In this case, specify the IP
address of the proxy server against proxyHost. If useProxy is set to n instead, set this
parameter to n as well.
proxyPort: This parameter too is applicable only if useProxy is set to y. In this case, specify the
port number at which the proxy server listens against proxyPort. If useProxy is set to n instead,
set this parameter to n as well.
setAuthentication: This flag is applicable only if useProxy is set to y. In this case, use this flag to
indicate whether the proxy server requires authentication or not. Set this flag to y if
authentication is required. If authentication is not required, set this flag to n. Similarly, if
useProxy is set to n, set the setAuthentication flag also to n.
proxyUsername: This parameter is applicable only if setAuthentication is set to y. In this case,
against proxyUsername, provide the user name for authenticating communication via the proxy
server. If setAuthentication is set to n, then set proxyUsername to none.
ProxyPassword: This parameter is applicable only if setAuthentication is set to y. In this case,
against proxyPassword, provide the password that corresponding to the specified
proxyUsername. If setAuthentication is set to n, then set proxyUsername to none.
useSSL: Set this flag to y, if you want the eG agent to communicate with the manager via
SSL. If not, set this flag to n.
trustedCertificates: This flag is applicable only if useSSL is set to y. To allow trusted certificates
only, set this flag to y. To enable the agent to accept any certificate, set this flag to n. If
useSSL is set to n instead, the trustedCertificates flag should be set to n as well.
setNickName: If you want to set a nick name for the agent, set this flag to y. If not, set this
flag to n.
nickNameToUse: This flag is applicable only if setNickName is set to y. In such a case, specify the
nick name to be assigned to the agent. By default, the host name of the agent host will be set
as the nick name. You can change this nick name, if need be.
Note:
You cannot configure specific applications (such as ColdFusion/Sybase) for monitoring in
the silent mode. For this purpose, you will have to follow the separate configuration
instructions provided for these applications in the eG Installation Guide.
5. Once all the aforesaid parameters are configured with the values relevant to your agent
installation, save the file.
Note:
Make sure that the eGuser account exists on the target system before you run the silent_install
script.
6. Provide execute permissions for the silent_install script and run the script on the target host. To
grant execute permissions, issue the following command from the directory that holds the
silent_install script (say, \tmp): chmod +x silent_install
