Installing, updating, and removing Monitoring🔗
The Eocortex System Monitoring service allows controlling the status of the video surveillance system components and receiving immediate notifications about problems occurring with them.
Note
This feature is available only for Enterprise and ULTRA licenses.
The service can be installed on any computer without installing the Eocortex server on it.
Only one service instance can be configured for the entire system.
Once installed, the service will start automatically.
Note
Service name: eocortexmonitoring.service
The service can be installed using the following two options:
Online, if the device has Internet access.
Offline, if the device does not have Internet access.
Supported versions:
Debian 10
Online installation
Add Eocortex repository:
wget -O - http://packages.eocortex.com/deb/install/eocortex-deps-debian.sh | bash
Install the service.
sudo apt-get install eocortex-monitoring-server
Offline installation
Warning
For this installation method, you will need a computer with Internet access and the same operating system as the one on which you want to install the Long-term database service.
Clear local repository:
sudo apt-get clean
Add Eocortex repository:
wget -O - http://packages.eocortex.com/deb/install/eocortex-deps-debian.sh | bash
Install all required packages (dependencies):
sudo apt-get install -d -y eocortex-monitoring-server
Create the MonitoringPackages directory and transfer all downloaded packages to it:
mkdir ~/MonitoringPackages/ && cp -R /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb ~/MonitoringPackages/
After that, copy the entire MonitoringPackages directory to a USB drive and transfer the data to the server. Install the Monitoring service and all dependencies using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i /path_to_MonitoringPackages/*.deb
Dependencies
The following dependency packages must be installed in the operating system for the service to work:
aspnetcore-runtime-6.0 (>= 6.0)
debconf (>= 0.5)
During the online installation the dependency packages will be installed automatically, while during the offline installation they may require to be installed manually.
To check if a package is installed and its version, use the command dpkg -s %package_name%.
Update
To update the service, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install eocortex-monitoring-server
Or download a new version package from the repository and install it manually using the dpkg command.
Uninstallation
To uninstall the service, use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove eocortex-monitoring-server
Network settings of the service🔗
Note
The Monitoring service does not provide any options to change the network connection settings.
Note
Service uses HTTP port 8889 for connection without option to change it.
Monitoring Agent🔗
To collect and transmit data about the state of the Eocortex server and cameras connected to it, an additional Monitoring Agent service is used.
The service is installing and updating at the same time as the Eocortex server components are deploying, so there is no need to install the Agent individually.
Once installed, the service will start automatically.
Note
Service name: eocortexmonitoringagent.service
