Console installation on Redhat

Before You Start

Before installing the dbWatch Control Center, note that the installer requires root privileges. For simplicity, this documentation demonstrates steps executed as the root user. You may use ‘sudo’ as an alternative.

This guide is for Redhat 9 with a minimal setup.

Adding the dbWatch Release Repository

Create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/dbwatch.repo
whith the following content:

[dbwatch-release]
name=DBWatch release repo
baseurl=https://download.dbwatch.com/repository/yum/release/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://download.dbwatch.com/repository/yum/release/dbwatch.gpg

Installing the Software

Update packages and install the dbWatch Control Center:

sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf install dbwatch-controlcenter;

When updating the software, use update instead.

sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf update dbwatch-controlcenter

Starting the Service

Start the dbWatch Control Center service with:

sudo systemctl start dbwatch-controlcenter

You probably want to make the service start at boot.

systemctl enable dbwatch-controlcenter

After installation, proceed to Initial Domain Setup
