Server monitoring windows

After selecting Windows on the operating system selection screen in Agent Installation and confirming the project access key, proceed with the installation according to the following instructions.

  1. Download the agent file.

    In the Download the WhaTap Installer for Windows tab, select whatap_infra.exe or whatap_infra.zip to download the agent installation file.

    • The .zip file is also provided for the users who cannot accept .exe files due to security issues.
    • For server security, it is recommended to run the downloaded installation file rather than installing through the browser.

  2. Access the server to be monitored and then upload the agent file.

  3. Double-click the downloaded installation file to run it.

  4. number-s Go to Run the WhaTap Installer tab and then check the granted project access key and server IP.

  5. According to the on-screen instructions, enter the project access key in License Key and the IP address of the WhaTap server in WhatTap IP.

  6. Click Next.

  7. In the following screen, click Install. Proceed with the installation.

  8. Click Finish to finish the installation.

Signature verification of the installation file in a closed network

On closed-network servers isolated from the internet, Windows cannot receive automatic root certificate updates, so signature verification sometimes failed even for properly signed installation files. The installer verifies the signature by directly comparing the root certificate fingerprint included in the installer with the signing certificate chain, without relying on the trust store of the operating system. It does not change the certificate store of the server, so you can proceed with the installation in a closed network without any separate action.

Files with a corrupted signature or hash, and files signed with an expired or revoked certificate, are still rejected for installation.
