allocation options to display. There are two ways to specify memory allocation:


Sentinel Server. The installer automatically determines the optimal distribution of memory
across components taking into account the estimated operating system and database
overhead.
IMPORTANT: You can modify the-Xmx value in
the RAM allocated to Sentinel Server processes. The
at
Custom Memory Configuration: Click the Configure button to allocate memory for

specific components. This option is only available if there is sufficient memory on the
machine.

5 If Collector Manager was selected to be installed and it was configured to use Proxy type
communication, you are prompted for username and password of a Sentinel user that has the
permission to register to a trusted client (For example, esecadm).
To complete this step, the Communication Server must be running and a valid username and
password must be specified.
5a Accept the Communication Server SSL certificate and upload the Collector Manager SSL
certificate to the Communication Server.
When the connection with the Communication Server is initiated, you are prompted to
accept the server certificate.
5b Review the certificate attributes, then select Accept Permanently.
The installer automatically uploads the Collector Manager certificate to the
Communication Server.
6 After installation, you are prompted to reboot or to log in again and start Sentinel services
manually. Click Finish to reboot the system.
NOTE: The Sentinel installer, by default, turns off archive logging. For database recovery
purposes, it is highly recommended that you enable archive logging after you install and before
you begin to receive your production event data. You should also schedule backups for your
archive logs to free up space in your archive log destination, or your database might stop
accepting events.
