Initializing Your AWS Statseeker Instance

  • Log into your Amazon AWS account and access the marketplace
  • Search for Statseeker, and select Statseeker from the returned search results

  • Continue to Subscription

  • Accept the T&C and wait a few moments for the subscription process to complete

This will progress you to the next stage of the deployment, configuring your Statseeker instance.

  • Select the Software Version and Region setting as needed

  • Select the EC2 Instance Type that best suits your needs, ensuring that the selected instance meets all minimum requirements for the relevant network size as detailed in Statseeker System Requirements
  • Optionally, adjust the VPC Settings to suit your deployment restrictions/requirements
  • Under Security Group settings, select Create new based on seller settings to be presented with details on the minimum protocol and port requirements for Statseeker to communicate with your network. If you intend to customize the Security Group, be sure to maintain these minimum requirements.
  • Click Launch

AWS will initiate the instance and you can review the status of your new Statseeker server from the Instances screen.

Your Statseeker server will take a few minutes to run through some post-installation checks and startup a range of services. Once your Instance Status is reported as running and the Status Checks are complete you will be able to interact with your Statseeker server.

  • Open a browser and go to the IP address that you specified for your server
  • Enter your server administrator credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: the instance ID for the server
Note: the admin account password can be updated from the Admin Tool (see Editing Users) or on the server CLI with (see ssadmin)

From this point forward you can follow the standard licensing procedure as described in the Statseeker Installation Guide.
