Automatic installation of DataStax agents

When you install DataStax Enterprise 4.0 or later, the DataStax agent is installed automatically for you on the nodes of your cluster.

After installing, configuring, and running a DSE cluster and OpsCenter, you connect to OpsCenter in a web browser and are automatically asked whether to provision a new cluster or connect to an existing one. In either case. OpsCenter will connect to nodes with agents already deployed (DSE 4.0 and greater) or deploy agents to nodes and then connect.

  2. Install OpsCenter.
  3. Start your cluster and the OpsCenter daemon.
  4. Open the URL for OpsCenter in your a web browser.

  5. Select Using Existing Cluster.

    A dialog displays.

  6. Add the hostnames or IP addresses of the nodes in your cluster.

  7. Select Save Cluster.
