This procedure guides you through the installation of the IDERA Dashboard and SQL Diagnostic Manager.
To perform a silent mode installation, see Install SQL Diagnostic Manager in silent mode. |
You can install the IDERA Dashboard and SQL Diagnostic Manager on any computer that meets or exceeds the product requirements.
Setup.exe
in the root of the installation kit. Choose the components you want to install by selecting the respective check boxes. By default, the setup program installs SQLDM, and SQLDM Repository and Services, allowing you to immediately begin monitoring your SQL Server environment. Select the IDERA Dashboard checkbox if you want a complete installation.
By default, the Management Service, Collection Service, Predictive Service, and Rest Service are installed on the local computer where you are running the setup program. |
SQL Diagnostic Manager uses the service account to communicate between the monitored SQL Server instance and the SQL Diagnostic Manager Repository. The IDERA Dashboard uses this account to connect, discover, and gather configuration information from SQL Servers in your Business environment. The installer grants the "Log on as a Service" right to the account that you specify.
To specify a service account:
The IDERA Dashboard uses ports 9094, 9290, 9291, and 9292 for the web application and dashboard services respectively. However, you can specify different service ports.
Verify that the Firewall allows TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic through your specified ports. |
The IDERA Dashboard Repository database is where the collected data, alert information, and alert configuration settings are stored.
If your SQL Server environment uses SQL Server Authentication, select the respective check box and click Change to enter SQL Server credentials. By default, the IDERA Dashboard uses your Windows credentials when connecting to the Repository database.
If you use Microsoft SQL Server Authentication, a new window displays where you can type the respective SQL Server login and password. |
The SQL Diagnostic Manager Repository is where the collected data, alert information, and alert configuration settings are stored.
SQL Diagnostic Manager 10.4 requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above running on the computer that hosts the SQL Diagnostic Manager Repository database for all installations. |
You can use the default install location or specify a different path. For your first install, we recommend using the default location. On the Display Name text box, type a unique name for your SQLDM instance. The display name helps you to distinguish different instances of the same product. Click Next to continue with the installation.
Provide a unique display name for the registered SQL Diagnostic Manager instance on the IDERA Dashboard or the installation process does not complete. Use the Check Availability option to verify the Display Name is available. |
The setup will grant the provided accounts access to SQL Diagnostic Manager and the IDERA Dashboard. The user that installs the IDERA Dashboard has access to this application by default as a Dashboard Administrator. You can choose whether you want other users to have access to the IDERA Dashboard in the Administration view.
2. Click Finish to exit the IDERA Dashboard Setup Wizard.
When you finish the installation, the Welcome window opens allowing you to Visit the IDERA Trial Center, Add New Servers (Recommended), Configure Default Alert Thresholds, or Start the Desktop Console.
To access the IDERA Dashboard and the SQL Diagnostic Manager web console, see Log in the IDERA Dashboard and web console.
If you wish to uninstall the IDERA Dashboard, make sure to unregister all products by clicking the Manage Products link of the Products widget in the Administration view. For additional information, see Managing products in the IDERA Dashboard. |
