The initial installation of the Monitoring Server is extremely straightforward.
Other than choosing the installation location, there are no options for the
administrator to choose, and installation will proceed. However, once the basic
installation is done, the administrator must run the Monitoring Server Configuration
Manager before the Monitoring Server is ready for use. The Configuration Manager
starts out by checking for all necessary prerequisites, and then moves to the screen
shown in Figure 8-1.
Figure 8-1 shows only five options, while Table 8-1 listed seven; this is because
the Monitoring Web Service, Dashboard Web Preview, and Dashboard Designer
Installation Site components are all included under the Monitoring Server check box.
