Table of contents Download Aternity on-premise for Setup This article provides instructions on how to download the Aternity on-premise's main setup package. Deploy or update Aternity on-premise deployment where each component has its own dedicated computer in larger deployments, or you can combine several components on the same computer for smaller deployments. The components of the Aternity on-premise solution are: Order for installing Aternity on-premise components Field Description Aternity Oracle Database Server The Aternity Oracle Database Server is an Oracle database which hosts the Aternity system settings, data model and performance data. Aternity Vertica Database Server The Aternity Vertica Database Server stores the performance data in the Vertica format, which is most efficient for displaying in Aternity dashboards. Aternity Dashboard Server The Dashboard Server displays Aternity's intuitive dashboards using Tableau as its engine. Aternity Dashboard Gateway Server The Dashboard Gateway acts as the interface between the Dashboard Server and the Aternity Management Server, performing background tasks like preprocessing the data for display in the dashboards, and maintaining logs, audits and cleanup. It must be on the same computer as the Dashboard Server. While it has no user interface of its own, it is crucial to the proper functioning of Aternity. Aternity Management Server The Aternity Management Server acts as Aternity's central server, which manages and integrates all the components. When users access Aternity to view the dashboards or configure it, they access this server via a browser. Docker Components The Aternity Docker Components Server is the on-premise server that hosts all Aternity Docker services which provide multiple different functionalities to Aternity. Most components are mandatory, but you can choose to add or omit some of the optional components and their associated functionality. Aternity Aggregation Server An Aggregation Server gathers (aggregates) the data directly from Agent for End User Devicess on monitored devices, and passes it on to the Management Server. Aternity Data Warehouse Server The Data Warehouse Server is part of the Aternity data flow and responsible for the initial analysis and processing of the data. It is a central piece in the Aternity architecture.The Data Warehouse Server stores the raw data gathered from the Aggregation Servers, and aggregates (summarizes) it for the Oracle Database Server and the Aternity Vertica Database Server. It constantly aggregates and re-summarizes data in the main database in the background, replacing older, more detailed data with summary data as it ages. Therefore older data typically has limited drill-down capabilities. Agent for End User Devices The Agent for End User Devices monitors end user experience by measuring device and application performance. It is a small background utility which runs on each monitored device, and reports its data to the Aternity Aggregation Server. Before you begin Decide on the size of your deployment, based on the number of devices to monitor. This directly determines the number of servers you need, and their hardware specifications. Important If your sizing requires that you deploy more than one dedicated Aternity Aggregation Server, you must deploy a third party load balancer (LB). Then configure the Agent for End User Devices of all devices to point to the LB's virtual IP address (learn more). Configure the LB with persistent (sticky) sessions to ensure the Agent maintains its connection with the same server. Aternity also supports sticky sessions when the LB implements stickiness via cookies. Ensure the servers meet the software system requirements for all components in the solution. Choose the network topology of your deployment, based on the location of your monitored devices. Set the firewalls to open the required ports between components, if you plan any of them to be on opposite sides of a firewall. Decide the security, whether you want to encrypt connections between some or all of the Aternity components. Synchronize all Aternity components to have the same date, time AND time zone. Strengthen robustness by determining the backup strategy and whether to have high availability with redundant servers. ProcedureStep 1 Download the latest Aternity on-premise's main setup package from the Aternity Support Site (learn more). Sign in to Aternity Support Site, then go to Product Downloads > Aternity Server > Version and select the required version to download. Note that only logged in users with certain permissions can see the download option. The setup package is for all Aternity servers. Download Aternity on-premise from the website There are also entries in the Additional Packages which are required for database setup and others: Tableau Package Oracle Packages Install Scripts DB Schema Scripts Refer to Additional Packages for the necessary Oracle images and other setup packages. Step 2 If you are deploying Aternity in an air-gapped network, ensure you download the exact files you need, ahead of time. File Name Description Link for download Aternity_OnPremise_<version>_GA.zip Download the package that includes the setup of the following Aternity servers: Management Server, Aggregation Server, Data Warehouse Server. Vertica Database Server, Dashboard Gateway, Aternity Docker Components Server, Tableau_2019_3_10.zip for the Aternity Dashboard Server Download the latest Aternity on-premise's main setup package from the Aternity Support Site (learn more). Oracle18c or Oracle19c Download the setup files for one of the supported versions of Aternity Oracle Database Server. Only these exact versions of Oracle to work with this version of Aternity. Additional Packages page of the Aternity Support Site Silent_Install_Oracle18c.zip, or Silent_Install_Oracle19c.zip Download the script to use the express setup of the Aternity Oracle Database, which requires the complete Oracle setup packages. Additional Packages page of the Aternity Support Site Tableau_2019_3_10.zip The Aternity Dashboard Server uses Tableau, a third party product, as its main engine. Only this exact version of Tableau works with this version of Aternity. Tip Air-gapped networks make offline Tableau setup very lengthy. You must upload and download several files in sequence as a challenge response. Tableau does not allow this in one action. We do not control their setup procedures.

Additional Packages page of the Aternity Support Site DBVerification_SQLScript_12.0.0.7954 Download the script to use for database verification after initial setup. Additional Packages page of the Aternity Support Site Windows_Defender_Monitors.zip Download new monitors to deploy into Aternity that will allow using Windows Defender dashboards. Additional Packages page of the Aternity Support Site .NET Ensure this server has Microsoft .NET 3.5 (exactly) required for the database drivers, and .NET 4.5 or later, required for driver setup (both in parallel). To add .NET to a Windows Server, learn more. Search for these versions on the Microsoft Download Center. Chrony Synchronizes time and time zones between the Aternity components. If not included in your version of CentOS, search for Chrony, and download the version for your Linux OS. Database template (DBT) (Optional) When a DBA manually deploys the Aternity Oracle Database Server, you can use a template to set default values in the setup assistant (DBCA), depending on the size of your deployment.
