Additional NetEye Components¶
Additional NetEye Components are organized in the following categories:
- (NetEye) Feature Modules
Fully fledged modules, whose functionalities are well defined and established. A Feature Module corresponds to a yum group which contains all the required packages to make the module working.
- Preview Software
Not yet mature NetEye Modules which provide a set of functionalities that can change in the future; they might be installed to try new software that will be later become part of the official NetEye platform.
- Beta Software
Applications that belong to a NetEye Module, which have not yet reached the level of stability of NetEye Modules. They are suitable for early adopters to test latest functionalities but it is not suggested to install them on production environment. Unlike Feature Modules and Preview Software, Beta Software usually is not a full module but a subset of packages of an existing module.
Feature Modules, Preview Software, and Beta Software belong to
different repositories–neteye
, neteye-extras
, and
neteye-beta
respectively–and can be installed from the command
line. Since the procedure is different for Single Nodes and Cluster,
check the advices in Safe Command Execution then follow the
procedure for either a Single Node or
Cluster Node.
NetEye Feature Modules¶
All NetEye Feature Modules belong to the neteye
repository.

Note
Please remember that, due to the possibly large amount of space required by Elasticsearch, it is strongly recommended to create a logical volume dedicated to it when installing the NetEye Elastic Stack Feature Module.
NetEye Feature Modules Licenses¶
As an Elastic OEM partner, Würth Phoenix provides the Elastic license with the NetEye Elastic Stack Feature Module. The license provides a fully functional Elastic Stack, with all features of the Platinum subscription, covering also, for example APM functionalities. Although the Elastic Stack Platinum license is the default option, it is possible to upgrade the license plan to the Enterprise subscription using the dedicated command.
Beta Software¶
Beta software resides in the neteye-beta
repository. Unlike other
NetEye repositories, this repository may include multiple and
unrelated packages, and possibly multiple versions of a same
package. It is therefore possible to install even a single package
from this repository; the following command lists all packages
available there and allows to check which one to install.
neteye# dnf list available --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=neteye-beta
The output to this command contains a list of packages and their version, for example:
monitoring-plugins-debuginfo.x86_64 2.3.1_neteye1.2.0-1 neteye-beta
Here, monitoring-plugins-debuginfo is the {package_name} of the package and 2.3.1_neteye1.2.0-1 its {version}. Both data are required if you want to install a specific version of a package.
