Setting up a CCC node

To set up a CCC (Control Center Commandline) node, begin by downloading the CCC scripts and extract them to a directory of your choice. This directory becomes the working area for your CCC node.

In this example, we assume:

The scripts are extracted to C:/ProgramData/dbWatchControlCenter/scripts
dbWatch Control Center is installed at C:/Program Files/dbWatchControlCenter

All CCC commands require at minimum a script file as the primary argument. The setup process initializes the CCC node and attempts to join a domain within the dbWatch Control Center environment.

Step 1 – Run setup.script

The first step is to run the setup.script. This script will initialize the CCC node and attempt to connect to the dbWatch environment through the specified access point.

Example (default access point):

"C:\Program Files\dbWatchControlCenter\ccc.exe" setup.script accesspoint=localhost:7100

If needed, you can include optional arguments:

"C:\Program Files\dbWatchControlCenter\ccc.exe" setup.script accesspoint=192.168.3.5:7100 name="My Test CCC node" domainName=demo.dbwatch.com

Where:

accesspoint – The server and port to connect to (default: localhost:7100)
domainName – The domain name to join (optional unless multiple domains are present)
name – The display name for the node (defaults to ccc(hostname))

Step 2 – Approve the CCC node in Domain Configuration

If the node connects successfully, but has not yet been approved in the domain, you will see a message such as:

Unable to get certificate

Open the dbWatch Monitor interface and navigate to Domain Configuration. Locate the newly appearing CCC node under Nodes (e.g., "ccc (Libra)" if the host is named Libra).

1. Check the Approved checkbox
2. Assign the appropriate Privileges for CCC usage

)
)

Step 3 – Re-run the setup script

Once the node is approved and privileges are assigned, rerun the setup.script command:

"C:\Program Files\dbWatchControlCenter\ccc.exe" setup.script accesspoint=192.168.3.5:7100 name="My Test CCC node" domainName=demo.dbwatch.com

This time, the setup will complete successfully, and the node will receive a certificate.

)

Additional Notes

CCC configuration files, cryptographic keys, and certificates are stored under:

C:/Users/[username]/.dbwatch/.script_runner/

After setup, CCC can execute scripts such as:

add_instance.script

Privileges and Actions Map

Linux Users

For Linux installations:

Installation path: /opt/dbwatch-controlcenter
CCC script location: /var/dbwatch-controlcenter/scripts

Example usage:

/opt/dbwatch-controlcenter/ccc.sh setup.script accesspoint=192.168.3.5:7100 name="my-linux-ccc" domainName=demo.dbwatch.com
