Download HQ Open Source

HQ includes three basic components: a server (featuring the web-based dashboard), an agent (installed on the machines to monitor), and command-line server tools. The HQ Installer bundle includes HQ Server, HQ Agent, command-line tools, a PostgreSQL database server, and a JRE (Sun JRE 1.5). To run HQ Server on the same machine that is monitored, that's it. To monitor multiple systems on different platforms (operating system, CPU architecture), download at least the installer bundle and one of the agent files.

For platforms not supported by Hyperic, either download a "Platform Independent" bundle, which requires a separate database and JRE already configured, or download and build from source.

HQ Installer — includes everything: server, agent, command-line utilities, database, and JRE
HQ Agent — just the agent: install on systems to be monitored
Hyperic HQ VMware Appliance (3.2.3) — try out HQ on a VMware appliance (requires VMware Player or Server)
HQ Source — entire source package (see build instructions)
