  2. Change into the agent directory:

    cd datastax-agent-version_number
  3. In address.yaml 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" >> ./conf/address.yaml
  4. If SSL communication is enabled in opscenterd.conf, use SSL in address.yaml:

    echo "use_ssl: 1" >> ./conf/address.yaml
  5. Start the agent:

    bin/datastax-agent

    Use the -f flag to run in the foreground.
