Installing your server
The Cloud
APM server and
supporting components provide the infrastructure for monitoring with the Cloud APM console. Install the Cloud
APM server as the first step in setting up your IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management environment.
The Cloud
APM server must be installed by a root user on a supported
version of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®.
After the Cloud APM server is installed, you cannot change the permissions of the Cloud APM files and directories. In addition, you cannot change the user or group owners of these files and directories.
For a list of supported
operating systems, see the software product compatibility report for your offering:
If you downloaded the monitoring agent images, you can configure the
images as part of the monitoring infrastructure installation process. If you intend to monitor with
agents from your IBM
Tivoli® Monitoring environment, you can
also download the IBM Cloud Application
Performance Management Hybrid Gateway image and
configure the image as part of the installation process.
