A silent installation is an installation procedure that continues without user interaction. It requires no user intervention from start to finish. This installation is performed using a user-modifiable response file, which enables you to easily duplicate the installation on many computer systems.

Table 1. Variables Property and Description

Example: KAFKA_TOPIC =sam_notification.

KAFKA_USER_NAME KAFKA User Name.
KAFKA_PASSWORD Kafka Password.
SAM_PROTOCOL

Choose the protocol ( http/https) for SAM communication.

Enter the the IP/fqdn/hosname address in the format <IP-ADDRESS/FQDN/HOSTNAME>:<PORT>.

Prerequisites

Create a configuration file for the installer to execute the installation. To create configuration file:

  1. Copy the sample configuration file from the distribution eventstore-installer.properties to a directory on the server where you are installing eventstore.

  2. Use any editor (vi/vim) to modify this file.

  3. Define each of the properties in this file, according to Table - Variables Property and Description.
  4. Save the changes to the file.

Procedure

  1. Login to the server as root.
  2. Type bash eventstore-install.bin –f <response file location> -i silent and press Enter.
    Note: Any user interaction is not required for this installer. Once it completes, a message displays indicating that installation is completed, and you are returned to the shell prompt. If the installer is unable to complete the installation, an error message is saved in the

    [Product directory]/eventstore_logs.

What to do next

After successful EventStore installation, install 3 elastic search plugins on all elastic search instances in the cluster by following these steps:
  1. Copy the plugins directory containing "ChainingSupport-6.4.2.zip, elasticsearch-arrayformat-6.4.2.zip and elasticsearch-userprofile-6.4.2.zip" from "<EventStore_INSTALL_DIR>/evenstore/plugins/" to < PLUGIN-DIRECTORY > where Elastic Search is running.

    Here <PLUGIN-DIRECTORY> can be any directory.

  2. After copying Run the following command to install each plugin: 
    1. /path/to/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///<PLUGIN DIRECTORY>/ plugins/ChainingSupport-6.4.2.zip 
2. /path/to/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///<PLUGIN DIRECTORY>/ plugins/elasticsearch-arrayformat-6.4.2.zip 
3. /path/to/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///<PLUGIN DIRECTORY>/ plugins/elasticsearch-userprofile-6.4.2.zip
  3. After installing all the plugins Restart the Elastic Search Service on all cluster nodes.
