Install the exporter on Linux host using response file
You can also install the exporter on a Linux host using a response file. Ensure you have addressed all the prerequisites before proceeding for the exporter installation. You can obtain the response file template from the ISO downloaded from Cohesity Download Center on the Linux host. The values that you must configure in the response file are described in the table below.
See Prerequisites for exporter installation.

Once your response file is ready, you can proceed with the installation.
To install the exporter using the response file:
- Mount the installer on the Linux host.
# mount -o loop itanalytics_exporter_installer_linux_<version>.iso /mnt
Note:
Replace the <version> with the appropriate portal versions.
- Run the installer script with the path to the response file.
# /mnt/exporter_installer.sh -r <responsefile path>
The exporter is installed according to the configuration of the response file.
After you have provided the required details mentioned in the steps above, the exporter is installed inside the /opt/itanalytics directory. The systemd service profiles are created in the /etc/systemd/system directory and the log files are generated under /opt/itanalytics/logs.
