2.1.2 Install System Insight with CloudWatch using Scripts

For a basic setup of System Insight, you require the following:

• An SC to run the system insight service

To get System Insight up and running for test purposes, there are a number of scripts and configuration files available:

• A script for a default setup of CloudWatch

• A sample script to set up System Insight on SCs
   

The steps required to install System Insight with CloudWatch are as follows:

1. Navigate to the directory $MZ_HOME/scripts/str-templates/system-insight.

2. Run the following script on the Platform instance, with the si-topo flag to run the topo commands required to set up  with System Insight:
   
   

   $ ./si_basic_setup.sh si-topo-cloudwatch

   Enter the AWS region when prompted.

   
   

3. You are then prompted to restart the Platform and picos, and startup the services:

   $ mzsh restart platform
   $ mzsh system restart
   $ mzsh service start

4. To set up the filters, run the script with the si-basic-filters flag and your credentials. This step is not obligatory but provides a setup in which system metrics are produced:

   $ ./si_basic_setup.sh si-basic-filters <username> <password>

   Steps 2 - 4 are required as system insight service must be up and running to be able to create profiles and filters.
