Chapter 1 - Prerequisites

1 PREREQUISITES 1.1 PYTHON

1.1.1 PYTHON 2.7 For the moment, Shinken does not support 3.0. This document is based on a 2.7.2 python’s version. The install of python is done without modifications, in the folder C:\Python.

If you change the python’s installation folder, you will have to change the configuration files.

1.1.2 PYWIN The version used for this document is: Python 2.7 pywin32-216:

1.1.3 PYRO Pyro is a remote communication framework for python. Pyro can be downloaded on internet. The version used to write this document is 4-4.12. On internet, the package downloaded comes with a tar.gz format. Under Windows, using a software like WINRAR, you have to uncompress the file TAR.GZ in a new folder. Then install pyro using the following command line. …python.exe “pyro installation folder”\setup.py install

1.2 WINDOWS 1.2.1 FRAMEWORK .NET

The framework version to launch the SHINKEN services is : 2.0 The framework version to launch the UI is : 3.5




Chapter 2 - Installation of SHINKEN 1.0.1

2 INSTALLATION OF SHINKEN 1.0.1 2.1 THE PACKAGE Le package is a SETUP.EXE file handling all the necessary files to process the Shinken installation . At the date of 04/14/2012, the SETUP.EXE file has the following properties:





2.2 INSTALLATION PROCESS Start the SETUP.EXE





Click on the Run button After extraction of the shinken.msi, the install really starts.

Click on the Next > button





Type your name and organization, then Click on the Next > button

The Complete radio button installs all the features. The Custom option lets the choice of which feature will be install and where install them. First, you can change the install folder of Shinken. As you can see, the default installation depends of your Windows type (32 or 64 bits). Services are coded into 32 bits so the standard folder for Windows 2008 R2 is





C:\Program Files (x86)\Shinken\ But for a Windows 2008 (no R2 version) 32 bits installed, it should be C:\Program Files\Shinken\

Change the folder if you want (click on the Browse button to choose a new folder or create it), then Click on the Next > button





The chosen components (or the complete install) may now be installed. By default, only the Common files and the scheduler are selected. Click on the Next > button.

Please note that you can click on the < Back button to change option before install the components. If needed, accept the UAC notification by clicking on the Yes button.





The install process now copies the files…





Click on the Finish button. The Shinken install is now accomplished. To finalize, just restart the server to start the services at the system …

2.3 POST-INSTALL CHECKS Once the server starts, we have to check the services to see if all the processes are working fine. Go to Start menu, into the search zone, type services.msc





Hit ENTER (or RETURN depending of the keyboards) or click on the blue line « services ». The Services management tool is launched

Find the Shinken services. All these services must be started.





If one of the services is not started, we have to check the logs or the events to see exactly what happened. The logs are into the “Shinken folder”\logs. Note that a special system variable named shinkenhome refers to the install folder so it also a good idea to use %shinkenhome%\logs
