QuerySurge Multi Machine Installation Procedure
Note: See our article on permissions required for installation on Linux here.
Prepare for Installation
1. Download the QuerySurge Installer to the machines you want to download QuerySurge on, making sure one of them is for the App server and the other is for the Database Server. Additionally, you'll need to install at least one Agent, and you may want to install QuerySurge API components (see this Knowledge Base article). Copy the installer to the machines that you'll be installing these components on as well.
Note: Newer browser versions have started modifying Linux .run file extensions to ".txt" on Windows. If you download your QuerySurge installer on Windows prior to moving it to Linux, it may show up as querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.txt instead of querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run. The installer should be intact, however, and you can either restore the ".run" extension, or you can leave it as it is. The installation on Linux should proceed normally either way.
2. On each machine use the cd command at the linux prompt to go to the directory where you have downloaded the installer.
3. Issue the command ls –al at the linux prompt to check the filename. You should see a listing similar to the following (‘x.x.x’ is the QuerySurge version number):
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 232635922 Nov 21 11:07 querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run
4. Type chmod +x <filename> to make the installer file executable, <filename> is the QuerySurge installer name from the previous command:
chmod +x querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run
5. Type ls -al again to confirm the change. At the left of the file listing you should see rwxrwxr-x:
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 232635922 Nov 21 11:07 querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run
6. On the box designated as the QuerySurge Database server, issue the command at the prompt: ./<filename> where <filename> is the QuerySurge installer shown from the ls command (where ‘x.x.x’ is the QuerySurge version number) Type --mode text at the end of the file name:
./querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run --mode text
Note: Make sure all antivirus software (or similar software) is shut down before you start the installation, as these processes can interfere with the installation process, potentially breaking your installation.

16. The QuerySurge App Server will now take several minutes to install. (< 20 min).
- Launch a supported browser (supported browsers are listed here) and perform a test login to QuerySurge.
- In the browser, navigate to the URL:
http://<server_name>/QuerySurge
If you specified a different port other than the default HTTP Port 80 in Step 7, then the URL is: http://<server_name>:<port>/QuerySurge
The default QuerySurge admin credentials are: admin/admin. You should set the Admin password to a value of your choosing.
Configure Statsmon for the Database
- Log into your Database machine as an Admin if you are not still logged in.
- Use the following command to stop the Statsmon service:
service QuerySurge statsmon stop - Go to the QuerySurge install directory, and find the Statsmon configuration file (statsmonconfig.xml). The default location is: /opt/QuerySurge/statsmon/config/statsmonconfig.xml.
- Make a copy of the statsmonconfig.xml file.
- Carefully edit the statsmonconfig.xml file using a text editor. The tag you'll need to edit is <qsserverurl>. Carefully change the text value of the tag to the server name or IP address of your QuerySurge App server. After you have edited the tag, it will look something like:
- <qsserverurl>http://myQuerySurgeAppserver.mycompany.com:80</qsserverurl>
- In this example, myQuerySurgeAppserver.mycompany.com is the name of the server you installed the QuerySurge App server on (the IP address of this server should also work), and 80 is the http port for the QuerySurge App server (see above: "Installing the QuerySurge App Server", Step 8).
- Save the changes to the statsmonconfig.xml file.
- Use the following command Start the Statsmon service:
service QuerySurge statsmon start
Install a QuerySurge Agent
On a box designated for a QuerySurge Agent, issue the command at the prompt: ./<filename> where <filename> is the QuerySurge installer shown from the l command (where ‘x.x.x’ is the QuerySurge version number):
./querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run --mode text

Port [80]: <App Server HTTP Port>
Press the 'Enter' key to confirm the installation of QuerySurge
------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup is now ready to begin installing QuerySurge on your computer. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: y
The QuerySurge Agent should install. This will take several minutes.
Once the installer has completed, your QuerySurge Agent should be installed, and should have self-registered with QuerySurge, but it will not be Enabled. Log into QuerySurge as a QuerySurge Admin user, and navigate to the Admin view. In the upper left of the Admin view, click on Agents in the Admin tree. A list of existing Agents will show in the grid in the main panel. Locate the Agent you have just installed, and Enable it by clicking on the checkbox in the Enabled column. In the lower right of the main panel, click on the Refresh button. You should now see in the Last Ping column that the Agent has successfully pinged into QuerySurge.
Note: The local firewall may require ports to be opened. The default QuerySurge ports are 80 (HTTP) and 3306 (database), however you may have modified these during installation. If the ports used during installation are blocked, the firewall may be the cause.
You may want to install additional Agents (a minimum of one is required). Currently, there is a limit of one Agent install per Operating System (OS). You can repeat this procedure on additional OS's.
The core installation of QuerySurge is now complete.
Important: Be sure to back up the QuerySurge database regularly in order to Safeguard QuerySurge Data. Your only protection against data loss is a regular backup schedule. In the case of a severe outage your only possibility of recovery is based on a recent backup.
See this Knowledge Base article for backup procedures.
