Installing Apache Kalumet console

The Kalumet console manages the configuration and interacts with the Kalumet agents.

It allows you to easily manage all environments, all agents, all update plans with a central, web based tool.

  • Prerequisites
    • JSP/Servlet Engine

      Apache Kalumet console has to be deployed into a JSP/Servlet Engine (like Apache Tomcat or Jetty) or a JEE application server (like RedHat JBoss, Oracle Weblogic, IBM WebSphere).

    • Download binaries

      Select the file compression format compatible with your system (zip, tar.gz) by clicking directly on the link, download it and expand the binary to your hard drive in a new directory ; for example /tmp/kalumet_console - from now on this directory will be referenced as kalumet_console_home. Please remember the restrictions concerning illegal characters in Java paths, e.g. !, % etc.

  • Apache Kalumet Console Configuration (optional)

    Apache Kalumet Console creates a default configuration which allows you to directly use the console.

    You can update the base directory used by Kalumet console by adding the -Dkalumet.home system property.

    More over, for advanced users, you can override the default console configuration (location of the configuration file and journals) by pushing a apache-kalumet-console-config.xml file in the class loader. You can find this file in the Apache Kalumet console configuration in kalumet_console_home/conf/apache-kalumet-console-config.xml. You need to copy this file into the JSP/Servlet engine classpath. For example, using Apache Tomcat, you can copy the apache-kalumet-console-config.xml into the tomcat_home/lib directory.

    Configure the apache-kalumet-console-config.xml to match your environment settings.

  • Deploy Apache Kalumet Console

    Copy kalumet_console_home/webapp/apache-kalumet-console.war into the JSP/Servlet Engine or JEE application server deploy directory. For example, to deploy on Apache Tomcat, simply copy the war archive into the tomcat_home/webapps directory.

  • Using Apache Kalumet Console

    You should now be able to access to Apache Kalumet console, for example using http://localhost:8080/apache-kalumet-console. The default admin user password is admin.
