Note: These steps assume:

1. Install the Signal Sciences agent:

https://docs.signalsciences.net/install-guides/agent-installation/agent-install-intro/

2. Download the Signal Sciences module package for your version of IHS:

Note: Replace <VERSION> with the latest module version found here: https://dl.signalsciences.net/?prefix=sigsci-module-apache/

  • For IHS version < 9.0, use the apache22 Signal Sciences module:
    • Download: 
      wget https://dl.signalsciences.net/sigsci-module-apache/<VERSION>/centos/el6/sigsci-module-apache-<VERSION>.el6-1.x86_64.tar.gz
    • Extract: 
      tar -xzf sigsci-module-apache-<VERSION>.el6-1.x86_64.tar.gz
  • For IHS version > 9.0, use the apache24 Signal Sciences module:
    • Download: 
      wget https://dl.signalsciences.net/sigsci-module-apache/<VERSION>/centos/el7/sigsci-module-apache-<VERSION>.el7-1.x86_64.tar.gz
    • Extract: 
      tar -xzf sigsci-module-apache-<VERSION>.el7-1.x86_64.tar.gz
