Setting Up Metric Insights Server
This article lists the main steps an Administrator has to perform to set up Metric Insights server.
1. Verify System Requirements
Metric Insights must be installed on a hardware platform that has a fast file system and has sufficient memory, cores, and storage to run your application.
See system requirements for a Metric Insights server for a detailed list of requirements.
2. Select Deployment Method
The Metric Insights solution can be deployed on a custom server? as a virtual appliance and on a cloud hosting.
To see the comparison between those methods, check the Metric Insights Deployment Options article.
3. Install Metric Insights
Metric Insights can be installed as:
- A single-server (non-orchestrated) Docker application.
- An orchestrated Docker application. Orchestration platforms include:
- Kubernetes
- Amazon ECS (CloudFormation, Terraform)
- Docker Swarm
- OpenShift
4. Verify Application Login
Once you have completed your application installation:
- Point your browser to the CNAME that you have created for your server (for example, insight.yourcompany.com). The system will automatically re-direct you to the login page. If you do not have a CNAME setup, you can use the IP address for the server.
- Log in using the temporary admin password provided by Metric Insights support.
5. Enter Metric Insights System
