Prepare for the installation

Before you install Monitor Agent, do the following:

1. Sign in to My Esri and download the software.
   1. Click the Downloads tab and click All Products and Versions.
   2. Click the All Versions tab.
   3. Click View Downloads next to ArcGIS Monitor to download the software.
2. Verify that the machine meets the system requirements.
3. Create the ArcGIS Monitor account.

You can now proceed with the Monitor Agent installation.

Install the software

To install Monitor Agent, complete the following steps:

1. Browse to the location of the extracted setup files and double-click Setup.exe.
2. During the installation, read the master agreement and accept it, or exit if you do not agree with the terms.
3. Use the Specify the account name and password option to specify the account to be used by Monitor Server to manage monitoring services.

   The account used can be a local account, domain account, or Managed Service Account. The account you specify does not need to be part of the Administrators group. If you use a Managed Service Account, the account must already be configured for the machine. If you use a local operating system account, the account is created automatically if it does not exist. The default account name is arcgis.

   Note:

   Creating a local account during installation is primarily for the convenience of quickly installing Monitor. For production systems, it is recommended that you use an existing account that resides on the domain or in Active Directory that adheres to your organization's security policy.

   If you are using a domain account, it must already exist on the domain and be in the following format: mydomain\domainaccount.

4. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the installation.

Once the software installation is complete, register Monitor Agent with Monitor Server.
