PontusVision: Installation on Centos 6

Notes from Leo

1. Please download the installation from here: http://www.pontusvision.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/pontusvision-4.4.0-installer.jar
2. Run the pontusvision-4.4.0-installer.jar self-executable jar from a machine that has java.
3. During the installation, you'll be prompted for several questions; I'd recommend to stick to the default values as much as possible, except for the license key:
4. here's the license key to enter during the installation: o=biosit,ou=dev,cn=temp_90
5. you can use the default PontusVision.* for the license capabilities
6. The following link has details on the installation (note that you won't be evaluating the PVummon and PVrttmon products, so you can ignore references to those): http://www.pontusvision.com/documentation/installation/
7. Please find attached the license.lic file - please add this to the install area after you run through the installer, replacing the current license.lic under the 4.4.0 directory.
8. Please find attached the commands-machine-profile.sh file - this is the simple script that captures information from a machine so we can import it into the ThreadManager.
9. Lastly, please find attached the commands-apps-profile.sh file - this is the simple script that profiles the applications so they can be imported in the tool later.
