# Preface

Oracle Real User Experience Insight (RUEI) provides you with powerful analysis of your network and business infrastructure. You can monitor the real-user experience, define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and trigger alert notifications for incidents that violate them.

## Audience

This document is intended for the following people:

- System administrators responsible for the installation of RUEI. This assumes a sound understanding of the Linux operating system.

- The person within your organization designated as the RUEI Administrator. This person is responsible for post-installation configuration, and system maintenance.

Some familiarity with network and Web technology is assumed. In particular, you should have a sound understanding of network topology, and a good operational knowledge of your organization's network and application environment.

This guide is organized as follows:

- Chapter 1, "Getting Started" introduces RUEI. In particular, how it monitors data traffic, the role of the Reporter and Collector modules, and the supported configurations.

- Chapter 2, "Installing the Linux Operating System" describes the procedure for installing the base operating system.

- Chapter 2, "Installing the Linux Operating System" describes the procedure for installing all the components required by RUEI.

- Chapter 2, "Installing the Linux Operating System" describes the procedure for preparing the server system(s) for RUEI, and installing the RUEI software.

- Chapter 2, "Installing the Linux Operating System" describes the procedure for upgrading an existing RUEI 4.5.x or 5.0.x installation to release 5.1

- Chapter 6, "Configuring RUEI" describes the procedure for initially configuring RUEI. This procedure is performed by the person within the organization who has been assigned the role of RUEI Administrator.

- Appendix A, "The ruei-check.sh Script" provides a detailed explanation of the `ruei-check.sh` script. It is strongly that you use this script to verify successful installation, and to troubleshoot any issues that occur during the installation process.

- Appendix B, "Troubleshooting" highlights the most common issues encountered when installing RUEI, and offers solutions to quickly locate and correct them. It should be reviewed before contacting Customer Service.
