You can install Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agents for Linux using the RPM
utility or the Debian package management utility (dpkg
). These enable you to easily update and perform mass installations of Agents.
Before trying to install an agent, ensure that the RPM
or dpkg
utilities are installed and in the path by typing which rpm
or which dpkg
at the command line.
To install an agent on a Linux system, do the following:
root
..rpm
or .deb
file containing the Agent to the system.rpm -i <agentName>
if you are using the RPM utilitydpkg -i <agentName>
if you are using the dpkg utility<agentName>
is the name of the .rpm
or .deb
file for the Agent that you are installing (e.g., uptimeagent-6.0.0-linux-x86_64.rpm
or uptimeagent-linux_5.0.1_amd64.deb
).For information about using SSL with a Linux-based agent, see Using SSL Communication with Linux-Based Agent.
