Automatic installation of DataStax agents

When you install DataStax Enterprise 4.0 or later, the DataStax agent is automatically installed on the nodes of a 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 cluster. In either case, OpsCenter connects to nodes with agents already deployed (DSE 4.0 and greater), or deploys agents to nodes and then connects.

Procedure

Install DSE 4.0 or greater.
Install OpsCenter.
Start your cluster and the OpsCenter daemon.
Open the URL for OpsCenter in a web browser.
http://localhost:8888/

The New Cluster dialog prompts you to select a cluster option.
Select Manage Existing Cluster.
The Add Cluster dialog is displayed.
Add the hostnames or IP addresses of the nodes in the cluster. For best results, use private IP addresses.
Click Save Cluster.
