    The following data is used as examples:

    • name of the System Administrator <Admin Name>;

    • domain name of devices <host.example.ru>.

    Important

    If the domain name is not listed in the organization’s domain tables, add it to the hosts file of the server on which Platform is being installed.

    Also, add this domain name to the hosts file of the servers on which Agents will be installed and from which the user will access Platform via a web browser.

    Example:

    192.168.0.154 host.example.ru
    
  8. The installer will ask if there is an SSL certificate for the device name on which Platform is being installed (<host.example.ru>):

    Do you have SSL certificates match domain name <host.example.ru>?
    
    • If there is no SSL certificate, the installer can create a certificate for the specified device. To do so enter N.

    • If the certificate is available, enter Y. Next, the installer will request the path to the SSL certificate files:

      • enter the path to the private key:

      -Enter the absolute path to SSL private key with 'pem' extension: <example_path_to_key/key.pem>
      
      • enter the path to the public key:

      -Enter the absolute path to SSL public key with 'pem' extension: <example_path_to_key/certificate.pem>
      
  9. The installer will offer to choose one of the installation options:

    Enter the number of the required installation option (1-3).

    Important

    If you chose option 3, after installing Platform, configure the log analysis module (Advanced analytics)
