Installing and Upgrading Cartridges Installing Agents

Agent installers Remote agent installation

Agent installers

Agents that depend on the Agent Manager are installed using the remote installation procedure. See Remote agent installation and the Administration and Configuration Guide.

Some cartridges Foglight include one or more executable agent installers. The agent installers that are available for download are listed on the Components for Download dashboard. You can use the controls on this dashboard to download agent installers from the Management Server to a remote machine.

To download an agent installer:

1

On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Cartridges > Components for Download.

The Components for Download dashboard appears.

2

Click the name of the installer that you want to download.

3

Follow the on-screen instructions for each step of the installation process and specify the appropriate installation options.


	NOTE: For agents that are installed individually, run the agent installer executable and set up the agent on each machine you want to monitor with that type of agent. The Agent Manager defines agents with their Agent Package name. When displayed in the Create Agent dialog, the agent names are prepended with the cartridge name.

Depending on the type of agent that you installed, you may need to edit its properties to configure it for the part of your environment that you want to monitor. For information about agent properties, see the Administration and Configuration Guide and the User Guide for the cartridge with which the agent was included.

Remote agent installation

You can install Foglight agents on any remote host on which the Agent Manager is installed. See the Agent Manager Guide.

For more information about remote agent installation, see the Administration and Configuration Guide.
