Install Echo
The Echo installer overwrites your local use case database. If you have a previous version of Echo installed and want to keep the use cases you have created, export your use cases before upgrading. You can then import the use cases into the latest version of the Echo use case database after the upgrade. If in doubt, back up your use case database (C:\Program Files (x86)\LogRhythm\LogRhythm Echo\usecases.db) to a safe location before uninstalling the current version.
- Download the signed LogRhythm Echo installer from the LogRhythm Community.
- Copy the installer to a Windows machine with network connectivity to the LogRhythm Platform Manager and the Data Processor.
- Run the installer as Administrator.
- After installation, start the Echo service using the Windows Services interface. Click Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Alternatively, run the following from the command line:sc start LogRhythmECHO
