Installing Advanced Insight Manager

This chapter describes how to install the Advanced Insight Manager (AIM) application on a UNIX or Linux host in your network, connect to AIM using a Web browser, and log in. It also describes how to uninstall AIM.

This chapter also provides a reference for command options used with the AIM services, including mysql, aimService, jboss, and allservices.

If you are also installing the JUNOScope software, you can install AIM and JUNOScope on the same server. JUNOScope is not required, but is recommended to automatically configure JUNOS and install AI-scripts onto multiple devices at once. Install and set up the JUNOScope software before you install AIM. See Installing and Setting Up JUNOScope Software for AIS.

NOTE: It does not matter whether AI-Scripts or AIM is installed first. However, for both, it is necessary, to know the archive location (archive-site destination) used for devices to send incident and intelligence JMBs and for AIM to retrieve this data. You can add the archive location to the device JUNOS configuration for both AI-Scripts and AIM after the initial installation, but the components are not really usable until the archive location is configured.
