This step applies only when installing the Base Monitor on a separate machine from the web server.

You'll reach this step after you Set up the Web Server. 

Having done that you:

• Open the SQL Monitor web interface. If you need to, you can get to this through the Start menu under SQL Monitor website.
   
• Download the monitoring service installer.

  If, for some reason, you cannot access the web interface from the machine you want to install the Base Monitor onto, you can copy the installer from the web interface installation directory. The file SQLMonitorBaseMonitorInstaller.exe is located in the Download subfolder, by default located at:  %Program Files%\Red Gate\SQL Monitor\Web\Download for IIS installation and %Program Files%\Red Gate\SQL Monitor\Web\WebSite\Download for self-hosted.

• Run it on the computer where you want to install the monitoring service, and follow the instructions.

• Confirm the install directory and port for the Base Monitor service. Click Next.

Next step

You will arrive at the installation options section of the process, where you: Configure the Base Monitor Service and Database.
