Installation Guide for Single-Box Standalone Deployment

Overview

This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Motadata AIOps in a Single-Box Standalone deployment covering the installation process for the following components:

  • Single-Box Standalone Deployment

It is crucial to follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.

Minimum System Requirements for Motadata AIOps Server

Before installing and running Motadata AIOps, please ensure that your server meets the following minimum system requirements to ensure optimal performance and functionality. Refer Hardware Sizing document for detailed information for the same.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

  • Configure servers based on the sizing requirements of the chosen component.
  • Download the Motadata AIOps installation ISO.
  • Network Port should be open in Network Firewall and respetive servers as defined below:
Port NamePort NumberPort TypeDirectionPort To Be Opened AtPurpose
Motadata Manager9440, 9441TCPBidirectionalApplication ServerFacilitates communication with Motadata Manager
Motadata Application9455, 9456, 9457TCPBidirectionalMotadata ApplicationEstablishes communication for Motadata Application with MotaStore. This port needs to be opened only when the application and database reside on different servers.
Event Publisher9444 to 9448TCPBidirectionalApplication ServerFacilitates communication between MotaAgent and the Application Server. Typically, 9444 and 9445 ports are mandatory, but multiple ports may need to be open to support load balancing when a significant number of agents are used.
Event Subscriber9449 to 9453TCPBidirectionalApplication ServerFacilitates communication between MotaAgent and the Application Server. Typically, 9449 and 9450 ports are mandatory, but multiple ports may need to be open to support load balancing when a significant number of agents are used.
MotaStore9464, 6060, 6061TCPBidirectionalDatabase ServerFacilitates remote troubleshooting of MotaStore. These ports need to be opened only when troubleshooting is required for MotaStore.
TCP Log Listener5140TCPBidirectionalApplication Server or CollectorUsed to ingest logs into Motadata. Ensure this port is open on the collector if logs need to be ingested at the collector level.
UDP Log Listener514UDPInboundApplication Server or CollectorUsed to ingest logs into Motadata. Ensure this port is open on the collector if logs need to be ingested at the collector level.
Flow Listener (netflow)2055UDPInboundApplication Server or CollectorUsed to ingest flow data into Motadata. Ensure this port is open on the collector if flow data needs to be ingested at the collector level.
Flow Listener (sflow)6343UDPInboundApplication Server or CollectorUsed to ingest flow data into Motadata. Ensure this port is open on the collector if flow data needs to be ingested at the collector level.
Trap Listener (v1/v2)1620UDPInboundApplication ServerUsed to ingest trap into Motadata.
Trap Listener (v3)1630UDPInboundApplication ServerUsed to ingest trap into Motadata.
Log Forwarder9443TCPBiredirectionalApplication ServerEnables forwarding of logs from Motadata AIOps to third party applications.
Web UI443HTTPSBidirectionalApplication ServerEnables user interface access from the browser.
Upgrade/Restore8080HTTPSBidirectionalApplication ServerUsed for upgrading Motadata artifacts from the UI

Installation Steps

  1. Create a virtual machine (VM).

  2. Map the downloaded ISO to the VM datastore.

  3. Boot the VM from the ISO to initiate the installation process.

  4. Obtain sudo permissions by running the following command:

    sudo su
  5. Navigate to the opt folder using the following command:

    cd /opt
  6. Check for the existence of the installation script (post-install.sh) using the following command:

    ls
  7. Run the installation script:

    ./post-install.sh

    After you run the installation script, you will be asked to select the Deployment Type out of the following:

    1. Single-Box
    2. Distributed
    3. Collector
  8. Select the Deployment Type 1. Single-Box and then follow the steps further as demonstrated below.

  9. Select the Deployment Architecture as 1. Standalone from the following options:

    1. Standalone
    2. High-Availability
    3. Disaster-Recovery
  10. Change the root password by providing and confirming a new password.

  11. Configure the static IP address, default gateway, and DNS servers. You can change the default DNS servers as per your requirement.

  12. Configure the hostname.

  13. Configure the timezone by selecting the region and timezone where you are installing the Motadata AIOps Master.

  14. Once the installation process is complete, Motadata AIOps application is accessible using the link specified below:

       https://[IP]

where [IP] is the static IP you configured.

  1. Detach the ISO from the virtual machine to complete the installation.
