Install the Monitoring service

The Monitoring service allows you to gather metrics from Collibra Data Governance Center. The service also provides extensive monitoring and diagnostics capabilities.

For an on-premises Jobserver in combination with a Collibra Data Governance Center environment, it is optional to install an on-premises Monitoring service.

Tip For the installation on Linux without root permissions, also read the services section.
