Install UCT-V on Ubuntu using Debian Package

This section provides instructions on how to install UCT-V on Ubuntu using a Debian package.

To install,

  1. Download the UCT-V6.5.00 Debian (.deb) package from the Gigamon Customer Portal.
  2. Copy the package to your instance. Install the package with root privileges,

    $ sudo dpkg -i gigamon-gigavue_uctv_6.5.00_amd64.deb

  3. After installing the UCT-V package, modify the file /etc/uctv/uctv.conf to configure and register the source and destination interfaces.

    Note:  If you make any changes to the uctvt config file after the initial setup, you need to restart the agent and refresh or synchronize the inventory from GigaVUE‑FM to reflect the changes and start traffic mirroring again. However, if you have an ongoing monitoring session that is active and functioning well, modifying the UCT-V config file can cause traffic to be lost until GigaVUE‑FM performs an automatic synchronization every 15 minutes.

    The following examples registers eth0 as the mirror source for both ingress and egress traffic and eth1 as the destination for this traffic:

    Example 1—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and use the same interface to send out the mirrored packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress mirror-dst

    Example 2—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and use the interface eth1 to send out the migrnrbonred packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress
    # eth1   mirror-dst

    Example 3—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and eth 1; use the interface eth1 to send out the mirrored packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress
    # eth1   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress mirror-dst

  4. Save the file.

  5. Create /etc/gigamon-cloud.conf configuration file with the following contents to enable the third-party orchestration:

    Registration:
    	groupName: <Monitoring Domain Name>
    	subGroupName: <Connection Name>
    	user: <username>
    	password: <password>
    	remoteIP: <controller list IP addresses separated by comma>
    	remotePort: 8891
  6. Reboot the instance.

If UCT-V is successfully installed, then the status is displayed as running.

To verify the status, run the following command:

sudo service uctv status
UCT-V is running
