Deploy an agent

To deploy the Servwatch agent, execute the following script directly on the monitored server.

1. Go to the console, move to "Server->" New Server Registration "and deploy the agent to the monitored server by following the steps from Step 2 of" Automatic Registration (usually select this) ".

2. Execute the script with root privileges on the terminal of the monitored server. The host name is set automatically, but if you want to set it manually, change the red part and execute.

   1. To setting the host name automatically (normally select this)

      sudo curl -fsSL https://m.thingscale.io/agent/setup_servwatch_agent.sh | SERVWATCH_USERID='****' SERVWATCH_DEVICETOKEN='****' sh

   2. To setting the host name manually

      sudo curl -fsSL https://m.thingscale.io/agent/setup_servwatch_agent.sh | SERVWATCH_USERID='****' SERVWATCH_DEVICEID='<SET_YOUR_HOSTNAME>' SERVWATCH_DEVICETOKEN='****' sh

       

3. If you return to the “Manage servers” page and the agent status is OK or UP, it is registered normally.
