Summary of an Agent Installation

At the end of the installation process, the installation program prints the status of the installation along with the installed agent information. The information that the program displays can be very useful. The program also displays the location of specific files, which can be of great importance.

You might want to view the installation log file after the installation is complete, before performing the post-installation steps as described in Chapter 6, Post-Installation Tasks for the Apache HTTP Server 2.2 Agent.

The location of directories displayed by the installer are specific. However, throughout this guide and specifically in the summary of the agent installation shown in this section, PolicyAgent-base represents the directory where the distribution files are stored for a specific web agent:

Agent-HomeDirectory/web_agents/apache22_agent

where Agent-HomeDirectory is the directory where you unzipped the web agent distribution file.

Information regarding the location of the web agent base directory is also described in Location of the Web Agent Base Directory in Policy Agent 2.2.

The installation program prints the following information:

After the agent is installed, the directories shown in the previous example are created in the Agent_00x directory, which for this example is Agent_001. Those directories and files are described in the following paragraphs.

PolicyAgent-base/Agent_001/config/AMAgent.properties

Location of the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file for the agent instance. Every instance of a web agent has a unique copy of this file. You can configure this file to meet your site's requirements. For more information, see the following sections:

PolicyAgent-base/Agent_001/logs/audit

Location of the web agent local audit trail.

PolicyAgent-base/Agent_001/logs/debug

Location of all debug files required to debug an agent installation or configuration issue.

PolicyAgent-base/logs/audit/install.log
