Running IP-metrics as a service
Running application as a service is task which varies from
platform to platform. The aim is to achieve that IP-metrics starts automatically when the
system boots.
Here you'll find one possible solution for installing
IP-metrics as a service on Windows NT platform. You are not obliged in
any way to use this solution if you have the other one that suits you better. For all
other platforms please see the documentation for installing a service.
For Windows NT users only
In IP-metrics folder you'll find subfolder services
Run command prompt and go to this folder (e.g. cd
c:\ip-metrics\services)
Type : INSTSRV IPmetrics
c:\ip-metrics\services\srvany.exe
We have installed the service - now we should configure it.
Run REGEDIT
Follow the path : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPmetrics
Under this key create new key and name it Parameters
(case-sensitive)
In key Parameters you should create 3 new String values :
| Value name (case-sensitive) | Value data (case-sensitive) |
| Application | c:\jdk1.1.8\bin\java.exe (full path to your JDK java.exe) |
| AppParameters | aka.snmp.StartSNMP |
| AppDirectory | c:\ip-metrics (full path to your IP-metrics installation folder) |
Please be very careful for typos.
Now you can go to Control panel - Services - IPmetrics and set whether you want this
service to run in interactive mode (whether you'll have IPmetrics main service as a window
on your server)
