Deploying Agent Packages

deploy

The deploy command deploys one or more Foglight agent packages.

In most cases, Foglight cartridges include one or more agent packages that are used to collect metrics from monitored hosts. You can deploy an agent package after installing the cartridge that includes that agent package on the Foglight Management Server. For information on how to install a cartridge using the fglcmd interface, see install ; to find out how to list available agent packages using fglcmd, see packages .
