You can choose to install the Indexer on a server installed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and above. The Linux indexer works exactly the same way as the Windows indexer.
Before you install the Indexer on the Linux server, ensure the following:
The compat-expat1 RPM resource package is installed on the server.
The firewall is configured to allow access to port 8383 between the Management Server, Indexer, and Collector.

directory, to replace /opt/DataInsight/log

Export the new log directory using the following command:
export MATRIX_LOG_DIR=/DataInsight/log
