Install ServAssure Collection Platform
Last Updated: June 30, 2026

You can use Ansible to install ServAssure Collection Platform in one of two ways: fast-track installation or standard installation.

The fast-track installation installs and configures all of the ServAssure Collection Platform core components using a single script. It runs a single installation command from Ansible, which automatically installs ServAssure Collection Platform software components on all servers defined in all groups within the ServAssure Collection Platform Ansible Inventory file. If you are not familiar with the ServAssure Collection Platform installation process, it is better to use the Standard Installation procedures.

NOTE: This method does not install or configure the Metrics Platform platform. You will need to follow the steps outlined in the installation chapter of the ServAssure® NXT Metrics Platform Installation Guide.

The standard installation uses a separate script to install each ServAssure Collection Platform component. Ansible is used to install each ServAssure Collection Platform application individually by group. This procedure resembles a more typical application installation.

NOTE: The commands to run installation scripts with Ansible include the Ansible playbook to be run for each installation step. They may vary slightly in terms of the arguments and flags passed to the ansible-playbook program depending on how Ansible is configured in the target environment.
