How to download and install the Linux monitoring agent via Docker
The Linux monitoring agent can be installed via Docker using two methods:
- Docker Hub
- Site24x7 web client
Installation via Site24x7's web console:
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Server Monitor > Servers + > Linux and select Docker Agent.
- Click Copy to Clipboard and execute the command given in the web client.
Note
By default, the docker.sock file will be in the location /var/run/docker.sock. If it is present in a different location, change the location accordingly and execute the command given in the web client.
Once the agent is installed, you can view the monitor under Server > Server Monitor > Servers.
The docker agent can also be installed in multiple machines in one go using one of our bulk deployment methods: AWS ECS and Kubernetes.
