Select Components
You should select the required components you want to install on the PC or server you are currently configuring. There are several built in configurations available, these are:
Installation Type | Components Installed | Description |
---|---|---|
Complete | All components | This will install all components but Canary plugins still remain optional |
Server | All components, less Hydra and Sentinel | This installs all the server components, less Hydra. This is useful when installing a simple client / server setup where the services are on a server and Sentinel (the client UI) is on a separate PC. |
Bloodhound | Bloodhound tracker only | This only installers the Bloodhound component. This is useful for when configuring a dedicated tracker server. This is more common on very large sites. |
Client | Sentinel only | This only installs the client UI - Sentinel. This is used for client PCs where only the Sentinel application is required. |
