Procedure

  1. From the server’s Setup > Agent page, you can also try to deploy the agent with default configuration by clicking the Deploy Agent button. If the automatic deployment is successful, you are done. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
  2. To configure agent deployment, click on the gear icon and provide the following information:
    • Username: remote user which will own and run the agent.
    • Password or Identity File/Passphrase: remote user’s passphrase or remote user’s identity file (e.g. private key) and its optional passphrase.
    • Remote directory: Directory to deploy the agent files to. This directory will be created if it does not exist.
  3. If SSL is enabled, keystore configuration may be required as well. If keystore configuration is not provided, OneDB Explore will try to generate and deploy a keystore for you.
    • Keystore file: Location of an existing keystore on the remote machine (can be relative to the remote directory)
    • Keystore password: Password used to access the existing keystore
    • Keystore type: Existing keystore’s type. Default is JKS
  4. Click Deploy Agent
  5. Once the agent is ready, use the HCL OneDB™ Explore UI in your web browser to configure the monitoring profile and alerts for this server.
