Required of third party softwares

• JDK 6+（instruments application can run in jdk6）
• JDK8 ( SkyWalking collector and SkyWalking WebUI )
• Elasticsearch 5.x, cluster mode or not
• Zookeeper 3.4.10

Download released version

• Go to released page

Deploy Elasticsearch server

• Modify elasticsearch.yml
  • Set cluster.name: CollectorDBCluster
  • Set node.name: anyname, this name can be any, it based on Elasticsearch.
  • Add the following configurations to

# The ip used for listening
network.host: 0.0.0.0
thread_pool.bulk.queue_size: 1000

• Start Elasticsearch

Deploy collector servers

1. Run tar -xvf skywalking-dist.tar.gz
2. Config collector in cluster mode.

Cluster mode depends on Zookeeper register and application discovery capabilities. So, you just need to adjust the IP config items in config/application.yml. Change IP and port configs of naming, remote, agent_gRPC, agent_jetty and ui, replace them to the real ip or hostname which you want to use for cluster.

• config/application.yml

cluster:
# The Zookeeper cluster for collector cluster management.
  zookeeper:
    hostPort: localhost:2181
    sessionTimeout: 100000
naming:
# Host and port used for agent config
    jetty:
        host: localhost
        port: 10800
        contextPath: /
remote:
  gRPC:
    host: localhost

    applicationErrorRateThreshold: 10.00
    applicationAverageResponseTimeThreshold: 2000

3. Run bin/collectorService.sh

Deploy UI servers

1. Run tar -xvf skywalking-dist.tar.gz
2. Config UI in cluster mode.

The config items of UI is saved in bin/webappService.sh (bin\webappService.bat for windows).

Config	Description
server.port	Port to listen on
collector.ribbon.listOfServers	Address to access collector naming service.(Consist with naming.jetty in config/application.yml). Multiple collector addresses are split by ‘,’

3. Run bin/webappService.sh
