The order of Discover installation is typically back to front:

  • Back End: The Reporting / Portal server where events are created and reporting provided
  • Front End: The DNCA or Packet Forwarder where data is captured / SSL off-loaded, if required

It is possible, and sometimes necessary to install outside this suggested order (e.g. multiple environments production & non-production, resiliency), however the suggested order is a best practice to allow for testing and validation as component deployment progresses.
