Distributed installation

Distributed installation of KUMA involves multiple steps:

1. Verifying that the hardware, software, and installation requirements for KUMA are satisfied.
2. Preparing the test machine.

   The test machine is used during the program installation process: the installer files are unpacked and run on it.

3. Preparing the target machines.

   The program components are installed on the target machines.

4. Preparing the distributed.inventory.yml inventory file.

   Create an inventory file with a description of the network structure of program components. The installer uses this inventory file to deploy KUMA.

5. Installing the program.

   Install the program and log in to the web interface.

6. Creating services.

   Create the client part of the services in the KUMA web interface and install the server part of the services on the target machines.

   Make sure the KUMA installation is complete before you install KUMA services. We recommend installing services in the following order: storage, collectors, correlators, and agents.

   When deploying several KUMA services on the same host, you must specify unique ports for each service using the --api.port <port> parameters during installation.

If necessary, you can change the KUMA web console certificate to your company's certificate.
