Required of third party softwares

• JDK 6+（instruments application can run in jdk6）
• JDK8 ( skywalking collector and skywalking webui )
• Elasticsearch 5.2.2 or 5.3, cluster mode or not

Download released version

• Go to released page

Deploy Elasticsearch server

• Modify elasticsearch.yml
  • Set cluster.name: CollectorDBCluster
  • Set node.name: anyname, this name can be any, it based on Elasticsearch.
  • Add the following configurations to

thread_pool.bulk.queue_size: 1000

• Start Elasticsearch

Deploy collector servers

1. Run tar -xvf skywalking-collector.tar.gz
2. Set the following configurations in config/collector.config .

• cluster.current.hostname: hostname or ip
• cluster.current.port: akka communication port, set as your wish.
• http.port: the port, which agents and webui connect.
• es.cluster.name: the cluster name of Elasticsearch. The current value corresponds to the cluster.name value in elasticsearch.yml file. Default name is CollectorDBCluster.
• cluster.seed_nodes: Initial contact points of the cluster. See akka configuration

3. Run bin/startup.sh

---

• Deploy as many instances of collector servers as you need, for higher performance, by repeating ^^^ steps.
• Choose some nodes(3-5 nodes are enough) as seed_nodes. Config the whole seed_nodes list (separated by ,) in every instance's config/collector.config. e.g. cluster.current.hostname_1:cluster.current.port1, cluster.current.hostname_2:cluster.current.port2
