Info

o The vFabric Hyperic Dashboard should appear. Note that there will not be anyresources in inventory until you start a vFabric Hyperic Agent.o If the vFabric Hyperic Dashboard does not appear, check server.log andboostrap.log in ServerHome/logs/ for information about server startupstatus.Sensitive Data Best PracticesIn this version of vFabric Hyperic, the vFabric Hyperic installer writes some sensitive datato installation log files. After successfully installing vFabric Hyperic Server, deleteInstallerHome/logs/hq-install.log and hq-install.log.verbose, or thewhole the exploded installer.Step 4 - Set Up the vFabric Hyperic Agent1. Before installing the agent, or if you have already installed the agent, before starting it forthe first time:a. Configure user-managed keystore for vFabric Hyperic Agent (Optional)If you want the vFabric Hyperic Agent to use a keystore that you manageyourself for SSL communication, rather than a vFabric Hyperic-generatedkeystore, set up a JKS format keystore for the vFabric Hyperic Agent on its hostand import the SSL certificate for it. Make a note of the full path to the keystore,and its password — you will configure this data in the agent'sagent.properties file.Password Recommendation for Agent KeystoreThe agent keystore password and the private key password must be thesame.b. Import certificates for selected managed products to agent keystore (Optional).In vFabric Hyperic 4.6 and later, vFabric Hyperic plugins that connect tomanaged products over SSL are updated to support certificate verification. Toenable management of such products by a 4.6.x agent, it may be necessary tomanually import the target server's certificate into the agent keystore if theserver's certificate is not trusted. Affected plugins include vSphere and RabbitMQ. For more information, see About SSL in vFabric Hyperic.c. Define Agent HQ_JAVA_HOME (As necessary).vFabric Hyperic platform-specific agent installers include a JRE; platformindependentinstallers do not. Depending on your environment and the installeryou use, you may need to define the location of the JRE to ensure that the agentcan find the JRE you want it to use. For more information, and instructions, seeConfigure JREs for vFabric Hyperic Components.24
d. Open firewall port if necessary.If there is a firewall blocking incoming traffic to a platform where you will installvFabric Hyperic Agents, you must open the agent listen port (by default, 2144 forplaintext or 2443 for SSL) so that the agent will accept connections from thevFabric Hyperic Server. Note that the firewall built into Windows blocks remoteconnections by default; in Windows environments you must open the agent listenport.2. Install the agent, following the instructions for the desired installation method:o Install an Agent-Only Packageo Run vFabric Hyperic Installero Install vFabric Hyperic Agent RPM3. Install database drivers for vFabric Hyperic HQ .o In vFabric Hyperic HQ, the plugins packaged with the vFabric Hyperic Agent forMSSQL, Oracle, Informix, DB2, and Sybase do not include the databasevendor's JDBC plugin. (The database plugins in vFabric Hyperic include theJDBC drivers.) After installing vFabric Hyperic HQ you must download and installthe vendor-provided JDBC drivers for these plugins to work. Install drivers in:AgentHome/bundles/AgentBundle/pdk/lib/jdbc4. Configure vFabric Hyperic Agent in the Properties file (As necessary).o You can define the properties that enable the vFabric Hyperic Agent and vFabricHyperic Server to communicate with each other and other agent behaviors in anagent's agent.properties file prior to first startup. If you do not, you cansupply the values interactively the first time you start the agent (as described inthe following step.)o Note however, that some agent properties cannot be supplied interactively. Youmust edit agent.properties before first agent startup, as described in Set UpAgent in Properties File if:• You want the agent to use an SSL keystore that you manage, rather thana vFabric Hyperic-generated keystore.• The agent will manage vSphere components.• The agent will connect to the vFabric Hyperic Server via a proxy server.(Supported in vFabric Hyperic only.)o Configuring an agent in its properties file, rather than interactively, is also usefulparticularly when you deploy a lot of agents.25
