Installing the IQ Query Service microservice
Run the appropriate microservice installation PowerShell or Unix script to install and run the standalone microservice.
Before you begin
You must have configured the connection to your Elasticsearch instance in the installation or startup script, or you must configure the connection directly on the command line (not recommended).
About this task
You may want to add one or more parameters (without values, acting as Booleans) or parameter-value pairs to your installation script. To do so, edit the installation script to append them to your command in the form --PARAMETER or --PARAMETER=VALUE, where PARAMETER is the name of the parameter, and VALUE (when using) is the value you want to set it to. Alternatively, instead of editing the script, you can also enter them by hand on the command line.
- As a Windows service
- Choose this option for long-term use, say on a production system. The microservice continues to run when you close the PowerShell prompt, it can be stopped and restarted from the Windows Control Panel, and it outputs its log as a file. The installation script to use is installService.ps1.
- As a standalone Windows process
- Choose this option for short-term use, say on a test system. The microservice stops running when you close the PowerShell prompt and it outputs its log in the command prompt window. The installation script to use is start.ps1.
- As a standalone Unix process
- Choose this option if you are installing on a Unix-based operating system. The installation script to use is start.sh.
