Installing Data Collection Framework

This section describes how to install DCF.

DCF Default Properties:

In DCF installation (Console or GUI mode), by default following values are used for respective variables, which are not prompts for user inputs:

CTRL_URI_1=8443
CTRL_UN=admin
CTRL_PWD=changeme
MDB_URI=127.0.0.1:27017
MDB_UN=admin
MDB_PWD=changeme

Note: User can modify any of the above values, by creating a file named dcf-installer.properties file with exactly same variable names and modified values, inside the same folder where binary is available for installation. The installer then automatically picks values defined in dcf-installer.properties file, if the file exists.

Note: Make sure the URI, Username, and Password for MongoDB are same as the credentials created during MongoDB setup. If credentials are mismatched, installer displays a validation error and exits.

Note: If you are providing special characters password in the dcf-installer.properties, then you must specify the password in double quotes ("password$").
