Pre-installation Tasks

▪Service Monitor Agent has dependencies on the third-party package zlib-devel readline-devel bzip2-devel ncurses-devel gdbm-devel xz-devel tk-devel libffi-devel. Run the rpm -qa|grep -E "zlib-devel|readline-devel|bzip2-devel|ncurses-devel|gdbm-devel|xz-devel|tk-devel|libffi-devel" command to check whether it has been installed on this Linux server. If it has not been installed yet, you can choose either option below to install the dependencies:

oOnline Install: run the yum -y install zlib-devel readline-devel bzip2-devel ncurses-devel gdbm-devel xz-devel tk-devel libffi-devel command to install it online.

oOffline Install: refer to Offline Installing Third-party Dependencies for more details.

Installing Service Monitor Agent on Linux

1.Log in to the Linux server as the root user.

2.Run the cd /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 command to navigate to the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory.

3.Download the installation package.

▪Option 1: If the Linux server has no access to the Internet, obtain the netbrain-servicemonitoragent-linux-x86_64-rhel7-8.0.3.tar.gz file from NetBrain and then upload it to the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory by using a file transfer tool.  

▪Option 2: If the Linux server has access to the Internet, run the
wget <download link> command under the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory to directly download the netbrain-servicemonitoragent-linux-x86_64-rhel7-8.0.3.tar.gz file from NetBrain official download site.

Note: Contact NetBrain Support Team to get the download link. The download link is case-sensitive.

Tip: Run the yum -y install wget command to install the wget command if it has not been installed on the server.

4.Run the tar -zxvf netbrain-servicemonitoragent-linux-x86_64-rhel7-8.0.3.tar.gz command under the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory to extract installation files.

[root@localhost netbraintemp8.0.3]# tar -zxvf netbrain-servicemonitoragent-linux-x86_64-rhel7-8.0.3.tar.gz
ServiceMonitorAgent/
ServiceMonitorAgent/config/
ServiceMonitorAgent/config/setup.conf
...
ServiceMonitorAgent/install.sh
...

5.Run the cd ServiceMonitorAgent/config command to navigate to the config directory.

6.Modify the parameters in the setup.conf file located under the config directory according to your environment and save the changes. For how to modify the configuration file, refer to Editing a File with VI Editor.

[root@localhost config]# vi setup.conf

7.Run the cd .. command to navigate to the ServiceMonitorAgent directory.  

8.Run the ./install.sh script under the ServiceMonitorAgent directory to install the Service Monitor Agent.

1)Read the License Agreement, and type YES.

2)Type I ACCEPT to accept the License Agreement. The script starts to install Service Monitor Agent.

[root@localhost ServiceMonitorAgent]# ./install.sh

9.Run the systemctl status netbrainagent command to verify whether its service starts successfully.  

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status netbrainagent

10.(Only required if you have changed the default port number or configured DNS connection when installing MongoDB/License Agent/Elasticsearch/Redis/RabbitMQ). To make the Server Monitor can still detect and monitor its service, add the customized port number to the corresponding configuration file.

Example: If you configured the port number 27000 during MongoDB installation, do the following:

1)Run the cd /etc/netbrain/nbagent/checks command to navigate to the checks directory.

2)Add the customized port number to the mongodb.yaml file, and save the changes. For how to modify the file, refer to Editing a File with VI Editor.

Note: If fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is used when installing MongoDB on this machine, add dns:<MongoDB FQDN> to the mongodb.yaml file.

Note: Follow the text format in the example strictly, including alignment, punctuations, and spaces.

init_config:
 
instances:
    - name: default
      port: 27000

Tip: It is highly recommended to run the rm -rf /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3/ServiceMonitorAgent/config/setup.conf command to delete the setup.conf file from the server after Service Monitor Agent is successfully installed because the file may cause security vulnerability.
