Manually deploying agents - RPM

Installs agents on Linux nodes using Yum packages.

address.yaml

The location of the address.yaml file depends on the type of installation:

Installer-Services or package installations: /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
Installer-No Services or tarball installations: install_location/conf/address.yaml

The location of the opscenterd.conf file depends on the type of installation:

Installer-Services or package installations: /etc/opscenter/opscenterd.conf
Installer-No Services or tarball installations: install_location/conf/opscenterd.conf
Windows installations: Program Files (x86)\DataStax Community\opscenter\conf\opscenterd.conf

Root or sudo access to the machines where the agents will be installed.
The Cassandra or DataStax Enterprise cluster is up and running.
OpsCenter is installed and configured.
JMX connectivity is enabled on each node in the cluster.
The OpsCenter diagnostic tarball feature requires a GNU tar version 1.16 or above. CentOS/RHEL version 5.x does not include the required tar version. For those running on CentOS or RHEL version 5, either upgrade OpsCenter to CentOS or RHEL version 6 or above, or download and compile an acceptable version of tar.

In a terminal for both 32- and 64-bit systems:

Add the DataStax Yum repository in the /etc/yum.repos.d/datastax.repo file.


[datastax] 
name = DataStax Repo for Apache Cassandra
baseurl = http://rpm.datastax.com/community
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 0

Install the DataStax agent.
```
# yum install datastax-agent
```
In address.yaml set stomp_interface to the IP address that OpsCenter is using. You might have to create the file.
```
$ echo "stomp_interface: reachable_opscenterd_ip" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
```

If SSL communication is enabled in , use SSL in .

$ echo "use_ssl: 1" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
