# Installation Verification

# Verifying Access to the Web Interface

  1. Open a web browser, then go to http(s)://<ingress_hostname>:<ingress_port_number>.

    • <ingress_hostname> - hostname of the machine where Ingress is installed.
    • <ingress_port_number> - port number used by the web service, which is 8080 by default; this is specified upon ingress installation.

  2. Log in with admin for both Username and Password.

  3. Click the Navigation Bar on the upper right side of the page, then select the Open iT Core Server.

# Verifying the Running Open iT Processes

  1. Open the Task Manager.

  2. Click Services.

  3. Search for OpeniTEventHandler, OpeniTRegistrar, OpeniTReporting,and OpeniTServer.

  4. Verify that the status of the services is Running.

# Verifying the Created Directories

Go to the Core directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core and verify that the following directories exist:

  • bin ($BIN_DIR) - contains binary files

  • Configuration ($CONFIG_DIR) - contains Core Server configurations

  • contrib - contains scripts used by Open iT

  • External - contains external resources needed by the Core Server, such as the Apache, OpeniTDiscoveryTool, PHP, Python37, and Strawberry Perl binaries

  • images - contains images used by the Core Reporter

  • lib - contains the Perl library files used by Open iT

  • Log ($DEBUG_DIR) - contains troubleshooting logs created by the Open iT binaries

  • ReportingServer - contains files used by the web application

  • src - contains Lua source files

# Verifying the Running Open iT Processes

Go to the bin directory, which is by default in /opt/openit/bin and run the following command:

./openit-all status

A successful installation displays something similar to the following:

 Sending Open iT Daemons: status
 openit_serverd (pid 208655 208656) is running...
 openit_loggerd (pid 208570 208571) is running...
 httpd (pid 208781 208783 208784 208785 208786 208787 209148) is running...
 openit_handlerd (pid 209134 209140) is running...
 openit_scheduler (pid 209062) is running...

# Verifying the Created Directories

  1. Go to the openit ($ROOT_TEMP_DIR) directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit and verify that it contains the following directories:

    • debug ($DEBUG_DIR)
    • etc ($CONFIG_DIR)
    • inst
    • log
    • src
    • temp ($TEMP_DIR)

    These directories contain specific configuration files, error and debug logs.

  2. Go to the openit ($ROOT_DIR) directory, which is by default in /opt/openit and verify that it contains the following directories:

    • bin ($BIN_DIR)
    • classes
    • config
    • contrib
    • db
    • external
    • html
    • images
    • lib
    • libexec
    • modules
    • smarty
    • vendor
    • websocket

    These directories contain files for the web interface.

  3. Go to the defined data_dir ($ROOT_DATA_DIR) upon Open iT installation and verify that it contains the following directories:

    • incoming - will contain the incoming data
    • archives - will contain the archived data
    • database - will contain the Open iT database
    • temp - will contain collected client data sent to the server

  4. Go to /etc/opt/openit and check if it contains the following:

    • openit.cfg
    • perl
    • openit.env
    • php.ini

    These files are used for general Open iT configuration.

# Next Step?

After verifying the files, directories, and running processes, you may proceed with verifying the Open iT Core Server web interface.
