Introduction
In the first lab of the Instana Jam-in-a-box series you will be going through several key exercises that will help you learn more about the installation and configuration of the Instana Server and Instana Agent. You will cover topics such as:
- The installation process for a single server self-hosted K3's based Instana.
- Licensing the Instana Server.
- Configuring SMTP for the Instana Server.
- Installing the Instana Agent into a variety of environments (locally on K3s with the Instana Server, OpenShift and Linux).
- Troubleshooting steps you can take if the Agent doesn't appear to be connecting to the Server correctly.
The lab should be executed in the numbered order that you see on the left side of the screen in the navigation pane as sections likely depend on work completed in prior sections.
