Manually deploying agents - deb

You can install agents on Linux nodes using APT packages.

1. Add the DataStax repository to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.community.list file (if you have already not done so).

   $ echo "deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.community.list

2. Add the DataStax repository key to your Aptitude trusted keys.

   $ curl -L https://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -

   Note: If you have trouble adding the key, use http instead of https.
3. Install the DataStax agent.

   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install datastax-agent

4. In address.yaml set stomp_interface to the IP address that OpsCenter is using. (You may have to create the file.)

   $ echo "stomp_interface: <reachable_opscenterd_ip>" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml

5. Start the DataStax agent.

   $ sudo service datastax-agent start
