Install LAMs (Moogsoft Hosted)

This topic describes how to install LAMs in a distributed HA system in Moogsoft Hosted. This is a hybrid installation. The core processing is located in the cloud, and the LAMs and event sources are on-premise.

You must enable either Moogsoft Bridge or WebSockets LAMs before you can use the LAMs to enable event delivery:

  • Moogsoft Bridge uses a store and forward architecture to push events and other messages from a local RabbitMQ cluster to the Message Bus. Moogsoft recommends that you use Moogsoft Bridge in production environments.

  • WebSockets LAMs enables LAMs to communicate with Moogsoft Hosted using WebSockets instead of RabbitMQ or Moogsoft Bridge. Moogsoft recommends that you use WebSockets LAMs in non-production environments only.

In HA architecture, LAM 1 and LAM 2 run in an active / passive mode for a HA polling pair, and in active / active mode for a HA receiving pair.

HA architecture

In our distributed HA installation, the LAM components are installed on the LAM 1 and LAM 2 servers:

Refer to the Distributed HA system Firewall for more information on connectivity within a fully distributed HA architecture.

Install LAM 1

Follow these instructions to install Moogsoft Onprem on the LAM 1 server.

  1. On LAM 1 install the following Moogsoft Onprem components:

    VERSION=9.1.1; yum -y install moogsoft-common-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-mooms-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-integrations-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-utils-${VERSION}

    Edit your ~/.bashrc file to contain the following lines:

    export MOOGSOFT_HOME=/usr/share/moogsoft
export APPSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/apache-tomcat
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest
export PATH=$PATH:$MOOGSOFT_HOME/bin:$MOOGSOFT_HOME/bin/utils

    Source the ~/.bashrc file:

    source ~/.bashrc

  2. Initialize the local Moogsoft Onprem RabbitMQ cluster node on the LAM 1 server. Substitute a value into <zone> that is different from the value chosen for the main RabbitMQ cluster.

    moog_init_mooms.sh -pz <zone>

  3. On LAM 1, edit $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/system.conf and set the following properties. Substitute the name of your RabbitMQ zone and the LAM 1 server hostname. Set automatic failover to true and the cluster name to PRIMARY:

    "mooms" :
   {
...
"zone" : "<zone>",

"brokers" : [
    {"host" : "<LAM 1 server hostname>", "port" : 5672},
],
...
"failover" :
    ...
    "automatic_failover" : true,
    }
...
"ha": 
    { "cluster": "PRIMARY" }

Install LAM 2

Follow these instructions to install Moogsoft Onprem on the LAM 1 server.

  1. On LAM 2 install the following Moogsoft Onprem components:

    VERSION=9.1.1; yum -y install moogsoft-common-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-mooms-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-integrations-${VERSION} \
  moogsoft-utils-${VERSION}

    Edit your ~/.bashrc file to contain the following lines:

    export MOOGSOFT_HOME=/usr/share/moogsoft
export APPSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/apache-tomcat
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest
export PATH=$PATH:$MOOGSOFT_HOME/bin:$MOOGSOFT_HOME/bin/utils

    Source the ~/.bashrc file:

    source ~/.bashrc

  2. Initialize the local Moogsoft Onprem RabbitMQ cluster node on the LAM 2 server. Use the same zone that you specified for LAM 1.

    moog_init_mooms.sh -pz <zone>

  3. On LAM 2, edit $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/system.conf and set the following properties. Substitute the name of your RabbitMQ zone and the LAM 2 server hostname. Set automatic failover to true and the cluster name to SECONDARY:

    "mooms" :
   {
...
"zone" : "<zone>",

"brokers" : [
    {"host" : "<LAM 2 server hostname>", "port" : 5672},
],
...
"failover" :
    ...
    "automatic_failover" : true,
    }
...
"ha": 
    { "cluster": "SECONDARY" }

Enable event delivery

You must set up either Moogsoft Bridge or WebSockets LAMs to enable event delivery:

Configure a new backend LAM integration as HA on LAM 1 and LAM 2

Follow the instructions in Set Up LAMs for HA.
