How to verify the silent installation in Bold BI

Silent installation of Bold BI enables automated deployment without user interaction, streamlining large-scale installations. Verifying the success of a silent installation ensures that the software is installed correctly, and all services are functional.

Navigate to the Log File Directory

The log file is stored in the following directory:
{Deployed Location}\app_data\logs

Default paths for various environments:

• Windows: C:\BoldServices\app_data\logs
• Linux: /var/www/bold-services/application/app_data/logs
• Docker: <container name/container ID>:/application/app_data/logs
• Kubernetes: pod name:/application/app_data/logs
• Azure App Service: {drive}\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\logs

In the log directory, find the file named: silent_installation_progress.json

Review the Installation Progress

The file contains progress updates in JSON format. During installation, it looks like this:

{
  "InputValidation": "In Progress",
  "DatabasePermission": "Not Started",
  "TableCreation": "Not Started",
  "SiteDeployment": "Not Started"
}

Verify Completion
When all steps are marked as Completed, you can safely launch the application in your browser.

{
  "InputValidation": "Completed",
  "DatabasePermission": "Completed",
  "TableCreation": "Completed",
  "SiteDeployment": "Completed"
}
