Installation
The ew-hlsingest service is distributed as a CentOS/Red Hat RPM and is available
as ew-hlsingest.service when installed. It works both on RH 7 and 8 and
compatible versions.
To install version x.y.z, the rpm command can be used as follows:
yum install ./ew-hlsingest-x.y.z-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
The service can be controlled with the standard systemctl commands:
systemctl start ew-hlsingest
systemctl stop ew-hlsingest
systemctl status ew-hlsingest
Logs from the service can be seen using journalctl -u ew-hlsingest.
The unit file is available in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ew-hlsingest.service.
When run as a service, ew-hlsingest reads its initial configuration from
/etc/edgeware/ew-hlsingest/config.json.
To uninstall the service, do:
yum remove ew-hlsingest
When uninstalling or upgrading it is recommended to first stop the service.
Upgrades
There is only one version of ew-hlsingest so there are no configuration concerns during upgrade.
In the future, to upgrade simply run:
$ sudo yum upgrade <rpm-file>
