How do I install a new instance of Nodinite - Part 2?
Note: This is a continuation from Part 1
Configuration
Next step configures the default behaviour for Nodinite. All these settings are System Parameters unique for each instance of Nodinite and can therefore easily be changed later.
Step 9 Configuration
Configure Log Database Options
Provide options that determine how large or how old Log Databases are allowed to grow.
Split options by size or time
- Size to split database on in (GB) - Default is 31 GB and modern SQL instances with great DISK IO can manage 50-100 GB
- Days to split database on - Default is 10000 days which means that the database will be split based on size
Step 10 Configure Logging Options
Provide options for how long time to store events and payload. This is the default setting applied on Message Types.
Options for how long time to keep events and payload
- The default number of days to keep logged events
- The default number of days to keep data/body logged events
Step 11 Configure Monitoring Options
Provide options for how long time to store monitoring events. This data can be seen in the graphs within Monitor Views.
- The number of days to keep Monitoring Events - Default is 32 but our recommendation is at least 90 days for production environments.
Step 12 Configure Active Directory Support
Provide options for integration with Active Directory:
Check to enable the use of Active Directory groups
- Enable role-based support for Active Directory Groups - Default = checked
Step 13 Configure Administrators
Provide options for what users are granted access to the Web Client as part of the Administrators Role.
Add what users should be Administrators
Step 14 Review Configuration
Review the configuration and click on the 'Next' button
Step 15 Start Logging Service
If you are installing a new instance of Nodinite then a new Log Database will be created by the Logging Service on first start. This behaviour is by design to validate and test that the account for the Logging Service has sufficient rights to create new Log Databases.
Click on the 'Start' button to start the Logging Service
When and if the Logging Service starts information about the online Log Database will be presented. This is either a new one or your updated old existing one.
Basic information about online Log Database
Step 16 Start Monitoring Service
Your next step is to start the Monitoring Service.
Click on the 'Start' button to start the Monitoring Service
Example of the successful start operation
Step 17 Finish

You should now be returned to the page managing the environment. From here you can click on the 'Web Client' button to quickly navigate further in a new tab to the Web Client.
Open the Web Client quick link button
Step 18 Post installation steps
