Windows: Install S-TAP agents installation flow
Verify prerequisites, then install an S-TAP on Windows servers using the Deploy Monitoring Agents tool, the Guardium Installation Manager (GIM), the wizard, or the command line interface (CLI).
Depending on your license key, you can use the same S-TAP® agent for both file server and database activity monitoring. FAM does not require any specific S-TAP configuration.
This flow describes installing S-TAP on a single
database reporting to one collector.
- Plan the installation, review these topics:
- Verify the prerequisites.
- Windows: S-TAP disk space requirements
- Windows: Guardium port requirements for S-TAP
- If you are installing with GIM, the GIM client must be installed on the target database server. See Installing the GIM client on a Windows server.
- Install the S-TAP by one of: During S-TAP installation, if auto-discovery is enabled, it auto-discovers databases and creates inspection engines for the discovered databases. The auto-discovery process runs once at the time of S-TAP installation and does not automatically repeat. Post-installation, it runs periodically and sends the details to the primary (current active) S-TAP host. You can modify the configuration after the installation is complete.
- Configure any of the optional components if required by your system.
- Reboot or restart if required (Windows: When to restart or reboot the database server after installing or upgrading S-TAP).
- Complete the S-TAP configuration.
- If required, configure Enterprise Load Balancing.
