PingIntelligence

Installing PingIntelligence as a systemd service

You can install the various PingIntelligence components as a systemd service. When installing as a service, the various components are started automatically when the host system restarts.

Before you begin

Ensure you have sudo access to install PingIntelligence components as a service. Complete the following steps only if the automated deployment did not install PingIntelligence components as a service. To verify whether service is installed on the desired host machine, run the following command:

# systemctl status <service-name>

For example, to check ASE service, enter the following command on ASE host machine:

systemctl status pi-ase.service
● ase.service - ASE
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/ase.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
  Active: active (running) since Sun 2019-11-03 23:01:19 MST; 23h ago
.
.
Nov 03 23:01:19 T5-06 systemd[1]: Started ASE.

Verify that PingIntelligence services are not running. Use the following service names to verify the status of each component:

  • ASE: pi-ase.service

  • ABS: pi-abs.service

  • MongoDB: pi-mongodb.service

  • Dashboard: pi-dashboard.service

  • Web GUI: pi-webgui.service

  • Elasticsearch: pi-elasticsearch.service

  • Kafka: pi-kafka.service

  • Zookeeper: pi-zookeeper.service

  • API Publish: pi-apipublish.service

Stop the component for which you want to install the service.
