This section describes the typical OverOps installation, where the Collector and Micro-Agent are installed on two different machines, which is our recommended installation method. You'll begin by installing the Collector, then proceed to installing the Micro-Agent.. If you already have a Collector installed and want to install additional Micro-Agents, skip this step and go directly to the Install a Java Micro-Agent step.
