Prerequisite scanner
After you start the installation script for the Cloud APM server, a prerequisite scanner runs automatically and displays the scan results. The scanner displays a path to a log file that you can review if any of the prerequisites are not met. You must address the unmet prerequisites before you can start the installation again.
A
softprerequisite, such as low available memory, does not stop the installation, but is displayed in the results. An out-of-date library or insufficient disk space stops the installation. The minimum requirements for installation are provided in Table 1 and Table 2 in Cloud APM server hardware requirements. See the
Smallcolumn in the table for the applicable offering.
The following prerequisite scanner
results show an example where the prerequisite checks failed. You must correct the problems that are
found and start the installation again. (See Tips for resolving unmet dependencies.)
