• If the folder does not exist, by default created at Charon installation, create it and copy the tar file in this directory. In the example below, we assume the tar file was downloaded in the /charon folder:

  # mkdir -p /opt/charon/utils # cp /charon/charon_linux_toolkit.V1.4749.tar /opt/charon/utils

  .

• Extract the files from the tar file to the Charon installation directory, subdirectory ‘utils’

  # cd /opt/charon/utils # tar –xf charon_linux_toolkit.V1.4749.tar

  .

• Execute the installation script:

  # ./menusetup

  .

• The setup will check first your terminal settings, if set to VT100 you will not be able to continue until you set the TERM value to VT200, dtterm or xterm (see how to here: Configuration)

...

  • Select between HTML or pure TEXT emails
  • Mail recipients list (used for alerts, not for sending files like log and configuration files for example)
  • Mail sender (can be used to change the displayed name of the sender)
  • Customize emails footer: if needed, add here your disclaimer, information on the CHARON server or any information you think useful
  • Enable/disable wall alert messages
  • Install or update the alert script. It can be customized later, in this case it is recommended to do this once the virtual machines are installed

  • Select the alert level from guests log files: 0 = none, 1 = informational+warning+error entries, 2 = warning+error entries (default), 3 = error entries only

  • View alerts if any

  • Enable or disable license expiration alerts from guests logs: 1 alert per hour if enabled, 1 (default) or more alerts per day as defined per the recursive jobs settings

  • The alerts simulator can be used to send all the know alerts via email (for checks)
