This article describes the procedures for installing an on-premise Snaplex in a Linux environment. An on-premise Snaplex is also known as a Groundplex. This document uses the term Groundplex to distinguish this type of Snaplex (on-premise) from other types, such as a Clouplex Cloudplex or an eXtremeplex. However, in command syntax and references to the UI, the generic term Snaplex is used.

...

1. Log into SnapLogic Manager as an Org admin.
2. Navigate to the project where you want to create your Groundplex, then do one of the following:
   • Click the Snaplex tab, then click  to display the Snaplex popup.
     OR
   • Click to display the Assets drop-down list, then select Snaplex; the Snaplex popup appears.
     
     
     
3. Enter the required information on the Create Snaplex form. Once completed, the Downloads tab on the Snaplex popup appears. The Downloads tab has links to the installer and configuration files.
4. Download the RPM/DEB and the configuration file onto a Linux machine. 

   • For CentOS (or Redhat) 6.3 or newer, run the following command
     $ sudo rpm -i <filename>.rpm

   • For Ubuntu 14.04 or newer, run the following command: 
     $ sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb.
     Where <filename> is the name of the current installer file.

5. After the software is installed, place the downloaded configuration file in the /opt/snaplogic/etc directory and make sure the file name ends with .slpropz. Change the slpropz file so that snapuser owns it by running the following commands:

   Code Block
   $ sudo chown snapuser:snapuser /opt/snaplogic/etc/myplex.slpropz $ sudo chmod 600 /opt/snaplogic/etc/myplex.slpropz

   
   

6. To start the Snaplex service, run:
   $ sudo /opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh start
7. To verify the Snaplex has started, visit https://elastic.snaplogic.com/sl/dashboard.html#Health. The newly installed Snaplex node should show up in the list of nodes for the Snaplex.

...

1. Log into the Groundplex host as a root or sudo user.

2. Create the startup service file:

   Code Block
   touch /etc/systemd/system/snaplogic.service

   
   

3. Change the permissions on the file:

   Code Block
   chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/snaplogic.service

   This change provides read and write permissions for the owner and group, and read permission for others.
   
   

4. Open the file with a text editor. For example, the using a vim editor:

   Code Block
   vim /etc/systemd/system/snaplogic.service

   
   

5. Add the following text to the file:

   Paste code macro
   [Unit] Description=SnapLogic JVM After=network.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh start ExecReload=/opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh restart ExecStop=/opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh stop [Install] WantedBy=default.target

   
   

6. Save and exit the file.
   
   

7. Enable the service by running the following command:

   Code Block
   systemctl enable snaplogic.service

   The service will start automatically when the host reboots.
   
   

8. Start the service:

   Code Block
   systemctl start snaplogic.service

   
   

9. To stop the Snaplex as a service, run the following command:
   

   Code Block
   systemctl disable snaplogic.service
