Installing DataStax agents
DataStax agents must be installed on every managed node in a cluster and are necessary to perform most of the functionality within OpsCenter.
Once you've added the cluster to OpsCenter, you'll see the status of the agents in the Dashboard.
If your cluster is running DSE 3.2 or higher, the agents are already installed and should automatically connect. If you don't see that the agents have successfully connected to OpsCenter on the Dashboard after about five minutes, or if you are running DSE 3.1.x or lower, select Fix on the Dashboard.
Prerequisites
- Root or sudo access to the machines where the agents will be installed.
- JMX connectivity is enabled on each node in the cluster.
- You either configured the SSH port, or you accepted the default SSH port (22) for node-agent communication.
Procedure
Results
DataStax agents have been deployed and configured for each managed node in the cluster.
If you are unable to install the agents through the OpsCenter UI, you can manually install the agents by following these instructions.
