Installing and Initializing Incident Manager

Conventions​

The following conventions are used in this article:

  • $SMDS_HOME — Smart Monitor Data Storage home directory, usually /app/opensearch/
  • $SMW_HOME — Smart Monitor Web home directory, usually /app/opensearch-dashboards/

Prerequisites​

The following files are required for installation:

  • archive with sm-im module files for Smart Monitor Data Storage
  • archive with smartMonitorIncidentManager module files for Smart Monitor Web

Installation Process​

Install the module on Smart Monitor Data Storage servers:

sudo -u opensearch $SMDS_HOME/bin/opensearch-plugin install file://<path to module archive>

Install the module on Smart Monitor Web servers:

sudo -u opensearch $SMW_HOME/bin/opensearch-dashboards-plugin install file://<path to module archive>
Update the build identifier

After installing or updating the plugin, increment build.number in $SMW_HOME/package.json. This clears the browser cache. Then restart the Smart Monitor Web service.
