Install the Composer Tracing Microservice

To install and start the tracing microservice:

1. Open your SSH client.

2. Use the following command to install the Composer tracing microservice in a CentOS environment:

   sudo yum install zoomdata-tracing-server -y

   Use the following command to install the Composer tracing microservice in an Ubuntu environment:

   sudo apt install zoomdata-tracing-server

3. Composer recommends that you set up an Elasticsearch persistent store to save the trace files, because trace files are not retained in memory for very long. See Persist Traces for more information.

4. Start the microservice. For example, use the following command to start the Composer tracing microservice using systemd in a CentOS or Ubuntu environment:

   sudo systemctl start zoomdata-tracing-server
