The Logpoint Director setup process requires the installation of the Director components separately and in a specified order, ensuring compatibility between the versions of Logpoint, LPSM, and Director Fabric for proper configuration.
Director components can be deployed using ISO or any of the Virtual Images available. Installation of Director components using ISO is outlined in Installation Sequence of Director Components using ISO.
There are three options available for deploying Director components using virtual images.
Go to Director AMIs Deployment to learn about deploying Director using AMIs.
Go to Director OVAs Deployment to learn about deploying Director using OVAs.
Go to Director Azure VHDs Deployment to learn about deploying Director using Azure VHDs.
Install Fabric Server(s). Go to Installation of Fabric Server for more details.
Install an API Server. Go to Installation of API Server/Director Console for more details.
Install an LPSM. Go to Installation of LPSM for more details.
Install a Logpoint. Go to Installation of Logpoint for more details.
After individually installing the Fabric Servers, API Server, Logpoint Search Master and Logpoint, the Director setup is ready.
During the initial boot of the installation process, you may encounter multiple warning messages pertaining to the setup of the Live DVD environment and can be safely disregarded, as they do not affect the installation process.
In case of a failed or incomplete installation, it is crucial to go to the BIOS menu and wipe the disk data before second attempt of the ISO installation. If you do not do so, the second installation attempt will also fail.
While upgrading the Director components to newer versions, we recommend you follow the same sequence.
Go to Logpoint SIEM and Director to learn about the version compatibility for Director with Logpoint SIEM.
