Performing the Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition silent installation
You can install the Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition unattended (a silent installation), which requires no user interaction during installation. You can perform a silent installation, as described in this topic, or you can use the installation wizard .
The server-silent-options-linux file is used to configure the Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition silent installation.
This file is located in the Disk1 directory of the Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition installation file structure.
The following topics are included:
Before you begin
Before you start the installation process, confirm the following:
- The system on which the root user is installing the product adheres to the hardware, operating system, platform, and software requirements listed in system requirements.
- The installation files have been downloaded and extracted from the zipped distribution file to a directory where the root user has write and execute permissions.
- If you are planning to install the Real User Analyzer component, you must have an activation key file from BMC Customer Support. You will need this file to complete the installation of the Real User Analyzer.
- You must have an encrypted user password for the Real User Analyzer and Collector silent installation.
To configure the silent installation file
On the system where you want to install the Real User Analyzer and Collector, complete the following procedure:
Use a text editor to open the server-silent-options-linux file.
Use the default installation directory or enter a new directory for the installation:
-P installLocation=/opt/bmc/euem
(Optional) To prevent the Analyzer or Collector installation, add a # symbol to beginning of the relevant line.
-A featureEuemAnalyzer -A featureEuemCollector
Verify the configuration information and change the port numbers, disk space, or amount of RAM for the Analyzer or Collector, if required.
Ensure that the port numbers you enter are available.-J analyzer_logrotate_dir=/etc/logrotate.d -J euem_hostname= -J max_memory= -J analyzer_activation_key_file_path= -J analyzer_company_name_for_activation= -J analyzer_http_port=80 -J analyzer_https_port=443 -J analyzer_shutdown_port=8005 -J analyzer_sessions_port=22033 -J analyzer_pages_port=22032 -J analyzer_objects_port=22031 -J analyzer_username= -J analyzer_password= -J analyzer_confirm_password= -J analyzer_database_port=3306 -J analyzer_data_disk_space=570 -J analyzer_optional_ram= -J collector_http_port=8080 -J collector_https_port=8443 -J collector_shutdown_port=8004 -J collector_username= -J collector_password= -J collector_confirm_password= -J collector_database_port=5432 -J collector_data_disk_space=28 -J collector_optional_ram= -J snmp_port=161 -J snmp_active=false -J demo_mode=false
Silent installation file field descriptions
Parameter
Description
euem_hostname
The host address is the Fully Qualified Domain Name, host name, virtual IP, or public IP address for the machine where the component is installed. This host address is used when a component generates a link to itself (e.g., within mailouts).
This is a mandatory parameter. The installation will fail if this parameter is not entered.max_memory (Optional) The maximum amount of physical memory (GB) available to the installed components
If the amount of physical memory is not set for the Analyzer and Collector, this field sets the maximum amount of memory available for these components.
If none of the memory options (analyzer_optional_ram, collector_optional_ram, max_memory) are set, the maximum amount of memory available for these components is the total amount of physical memory available on the system, up to 24 GB per component.analyzer_activation_key_file_path
If you are installing the Real User Analyzer, enter the path to the activation key file that you received from BMC Customer Support.
If you do not have an activation key file, you can use the Real User Analyzer for a 30-day trial period by entering the Trial in this field.
For example:-J analyzer_activation_key_file_path=Trial
Note: Contact BMC Customer Support to receive an activation key file for the Real User Analyzer.analyzer_company_name_for_activation
The company name must match the name that is in the activation key file you received from BMC Customer Support.
If you do not have an activation key file, you can use the Real User Analyzer for a 30-day trial period by entering your company's name.analyzer_http_port

Enter the following command:
./setup.bin -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<Full File Path>/server-silent-options-linux.txt
Notes
- After the installation, a new user is created for the Real End User Experience Monitoring database.
- If the installation fails, you must uninstall what has been installed before rerunning the installation. For more information about the uninstall process, see Uninstalling Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition.
- The Real User Analyzer and Collector installation euem_install_log.txt log file is located in /tmp folder.
Encrypting a password for silent Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition installation
The Maintenance Tool enables you to create an encrypted password that the Real User Analyzer and Collector installation process requires for importing a keystore. You must use an encrypted password so that the KeyStore password is not exposed in the server-silent-options.txt file.
You can run the Maintenance Tool in a GUI or from the command line interface (CLI).
Post-installation configuration for Azul 8 Java
After you installed Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition, you can configure the product to use Azul 8 Java. See Technical bulletin — Announcing Azul 8 Java support for BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition version 11.0 Fix Pack 2 for instructions on configuring the product for Azul 8 Java.
Where to go from here
Install the Cloud Probe so it can send information to the Real User Collector.
Review the system's access security features and configuration files that must be protected from non-root users.
To view a Real User Analyzer component as a data provider to the Presentation Server , you must register the Analyzer with the Presentation Server.
