You can perform an unattended (silent) installation of the Real User Cloud Probe. You might use this type of installation where you are pushing out the Cloud Probe to servers, or you want to install the Cloud Probe on multiple systems. Perform the following procedure to install the Cloud Probe silently. You can also install the Cloud Probe through an installation wizard.
The following topics describe how to set up and run a silent installation:
Before you install the Cloud Probe, ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:
Tip
For best results capturing end-user performance data, install the Cloud Probe on the host that provides load balancing services for an application. By binding the public interface used by the load balancing services, end-user transactions can be accurately measured and processed.
The Maintenance Tool enables you to create an encrypted password. You must use an encrypted password to set up a silent installation, so that the system password is not exposed in the cloudprobe-silent-option file.
You can run the Maintenance Tool in a GUI or from the command line.

<cloudProbeName> represents the name displayed in the Real User Collector. The name can have up to 60 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).
Enter the name of the network interface card (NIC) to use for capturing traffic.
-J cloud_probe_network_card=<networkCard>
You can run the ifconfig
command to see a list of the network cards and enter the value of the one you want to monitor. Network card names are in the following form: eth0, eth1, eth2
.
./setup.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=cloudprobe-silent-option
Following the installation, the Cloud Probe starts automatically. You access the Cloud Probes page through the Real User Collector console. Point to Administration > Integration, and click Cloud Probes.

Tip
Use getmac /v command to get the network card name. The network card name appears in the Network Adapter column. For example: Intel(R) 82579L
In the \Disk1
directory, run the following command to run the installation file:
