Manually deploy DataStax Agents from a tarball
It is preferable to install DataStax Agents automatically. However, when automatic DataStax Agent installation is unsuccessful, manually install them.
This procedure uses a tarball to manually install DataStax Agents on nodes running DataStax Enterprise (DSE) clusters. Use this procedure if your DataStax Enterprise (DSE) instance was also installed with a tarball. Otherwise, choose one of the following procedure types that does match:
Prerequisites
-
The DSE cluster is up and running.
-
OpsCenter is installed and configured.
-
JMX connectivity is enabled on each node in the cluster.
-
SYSSTAT Utilities (needed for the collection of I/O metrics).
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
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
