Using Actian Monitor
Actian Monitor Container Commands
All commands should be run in the Actian Monitor installation target directory. For all commands, use only the container runtime being used (docker or podman).
If Podman has multiple registries configured, you may be prompted on the initial 'podman compose up' for the registry to use for each container installed. This prompting should only occur the first time 'podman compose up' is invoked.
If installing Actian Monitor on the same machine as the database, Podman must be configured to allow container-to-host access. Alternatively, replace the instance hostname with 'host.containers.internal' in config/actianmonitor.yaml then restart Podman compose.
Starting Actian Monitor
docker|podman compose up -d
The compose -d option will run Actian Monitor in detached mode.
