  • The DataStax Enterprise cluster is up and running.

  • OpsCenter is installed and configured.

  • JMX connectivity is enabled on each node in the cluster.

opscenterd.conf

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

  • Package installations: /etc/opscenter/opscenterd.conf

  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/opscenterd.conf

address.yaml

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

  • Package installations: /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml

  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/address.yaml

Procedure

End User License Agreement (EULA). By downloading this DataStax product, you agree to the terms of the EULA.

In a terminal:

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

    [opscenter]
    name = DataStax Repository
    baseurl = https://rpm.datastax.com/enterprise
    enabled = 1
    gpgcheck = 0

    Set gpgcheck=1 to perform a GPG signature check.

  2. If you have enabled signature verification (gpgcheck=1), import the repository key:

    sudo rpm --import http://rpm.datastax.com/rpm/repo_key
  3. Install the DataStax agent:

    sudo yum install datastax-agent

    If you are using an earlier version of OpsCenter, add the supported version to the command:

    sudo yum install datastax-agent-6.8.version-1
  4. In DataStax Agent configuration, set stomp_interface to the IP address that OpsCenter is using. You might have to create the address.yaml file.

    echo "stomp_interface: reachable_opscenterd_ip" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
  5. If SSL communication is enabled in opscenterd.conf, use SSL in address.yaml:

    echo "use_ssl: 1" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
  6. Start the DataStax agent:

    sudo service datastax-agent start
