Set up PSA in Docker Engine

You can set up PSA in the Docker engine using the automation script, which is available with the installation zip file. When you run the installation command, the script automatically builds the docker image and deploys PSA.

Supported Operating System 

• Linux (CentOS and Ubuntu)
• macOS with Intel or M1 processor  

• Windows
  

  

  Installing PSA using the automated script is not supported on Windows. To install PSA on Windows, see Deploy PSA on Windows.

The following table illustrates the differences between installing PSA in Kubernetes and Docker:

Download the PSA Installation Files

Download the PSA installation zip file from the Appdynamics Downloads Portal or from the beta upload tool. This file contains Docker files for sum-chrome-agent, sum-api-monitoring-agent, sum-heimdall, Helm charts, and automation scripts. To build an image for sum-chrome-agent, sum-api-monitoring-agent, and sum-heimdall, ensure that Docker is installed. You can download and install Docker from here if it is not installed.

Deploy PSA in Docker

• To use a proxy server, see Configure Docker to Use a Proxy Server.

• Proxy configuration does not work if you use Docker Desktop with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) because of a Docker Desktop issue. Hence, use Hyper-V instead of WSL 2 in the Windows environment.

1. Unzip the PSA installation zip file.

2. Run the following command to install PSA in a Docker engine:
   

   ./install_psa -e docker -l -v -u <Shepherd-URL> -a <EUM-account> -k <EUM-key> -c <location-code> -d <location-description> -t <location-name> -s <location-state> -o <location-country> -i <location-latitude> -g <location-longitude> -p <PSA-tag> -r <heimdall-replica-count> -z <agent-type> -m <chrome-agent_min/max-memory> -n <API-agent_min/max-memory> -x <chrome-agent_min/max-CPU> -y <API-agent_min/max-CPU> -b <heimdall_min/max-memory> -f <heimdall_min/max-CPU> -q <ignite-persistence>

   CODE

   A sample installation command looks like this: 
   

   ./install_psa -e docker -u <Shepherd-URL> -a <EUM-account> -k <EUM-key> -c DEL -d Delhi -t Delhi -s DEL -o India -i 28.70 -g 77.10 -p 23.5 -r 1 -z all -m 100Mi/500Mi -n 100Mi/100Mi -x 0.5/1.5 -y 0.1/0.1 -b 2Gi/2Gi -f 2/2 -q true 

   CODE

The following table describes the usage of the flags in the command. Asterisk (*) on the description denotes mandatory parameters.

Monitor PSA

To monitor the CPU and memory usage of the Heimdall and Ignite containers, run the following command:

./monitoring_psa

Deploy PSA on Windows

Perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the sum-chrome-agent directory and run the following command:
   

   docker build -f Dockerfile-PSA -t sum-chrome-agent:<agent-tag> .

   CODE

   
   

2. Navigate to the sum-api-monitoring-agent directory and run the following command:
   

   docker build -f Dockerfile-PSA -t sum-api-monitoring-agent:<agent-tag> .

   CODE

3. Navigate to the sum-heimdall directory and copy the docker file:

   cp ./docker-PSA/Dockerfile-PSA 

   CODE

4. Build the Heimdall image:

   docker build -f Dockerfile-PSA -t sum-heimdall:<heimdall-tag> .

   CODE
5. Navigate to ./docker-psa/appdynamics and update the following details in the onprem.yaml file:
   • Shepherd URL
   • EUM credentials
   • Registration location
   • Agent tag
6. Navigate to ./docker-psa and update the Heimdall tag in the docker-compose.yaml file.

7. Perform Docker compose:

   docker-compose up -d

   CODE

Uninstall PSA

To uninstall PSA, run the following commands:

./uninstall_psa -e docker -p
