Installation instructions
Installation is really easy and straight forward. Follow these simple steps and you'll be up and running in no time.
- If you have an old version of SSC Serv installed, uninstall it first. Since SSC Serv 2 is a new major version, it is not possible to upgrade by simply installing over an existing SSC Serv 1 installation.
- Download and start the installer package.
- Chose a destination directory. It is recommended that you install SSC Serv on the main system partition, usually "C:\".
- Click "Next" to proceed with the installation.
- After the files have been copied and the service has been registered, the installer will offer to run the
configuration tool. You should do this.
Under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 it is possible that the User Account Control (UAC) gets confused, because the configuration tool requires administrator privileges. If you get such an error message, simiply start the configuration utility from the Control Panel.
- SSC Serv's configuration window will open. Make any changes appropriate for your system. In particular, the automatically determined hostname may not be consistent with the rest of your collectd setup.
- When you click on "Ok", the installer will inform you that SSC Serv is currently not running and prompt to start it. Select "Yes".
- Clean up the files you downloaded – they are not needed anymore.
- Tend to your server and watch the data coming in.
