SkyWalking backend distribution package includes the following parts:
bin/cmd scripts, in /bin folder. Includes startup linux shell and Windows cmd scripts for Backend server and UI startup.
Backend config, in /config folder. Includes settings files of the backend, which are:
application.ymllog4j.xmlalarm-settings.ymlLibraries of backend, in /oap-libs folder. All the dependencies of the backend are in it.
Webapp env, in webapp folder. UI frontend jar file is here, with its webapp.yml setting file.
Requirement: JDK8 to JDK12 are tested, other versions are not tested and may or may not work.
Before you start, you should know that the quickstart aims to get you a basic configuration mostly for previews/demo, performance and long-term running are not our goals.
For production/QA/tests environments, you should head to Backend and UI deployment documents.
You can use bin/startup.sh (or cmd) to startup the backend and UI with their default settings, which are:
0.0.0.0/11800 for gRPC APIs and 0.0.0.0/12800 for http rest APIs.In Java, .NetCore, Node.js, Istio agents/probe, you should set the gRPC service address to ip/host:11800, with ip/host where your backend is.
8080 port and request 127.0.0.1/12800 to do GraphQL query.Before deploying Skywalking in your distributed environment, you should know how agents/probes, backend, UI communicates with each other:
core/default/gRPC* in application.yml) to report data to the backend. Also, jetty service supported in JSON format.core/default/rest* in application.yml).Now, let's continue with the backend, UI and CLI setting documents.
