Installation for New Machine Agent

The following steps are for new installations. To upgrade Machine Agent <= 4.3, see Upgrade the Machine Agent.

Plan the Machine Agent Configuration.
From Downloads, download the Machine Agent installation package for your OS environment onto the machine you want to monitor.
Note: If there is no download bundle for your OS, use the Machine Agent zip file without the JRE, and use a separately downloaded JRE to run it. You need to download a separate JRE if the one already installed on the machine is a version earlier than JRE 1.8.
- Install Using the Non-JRE Zip File- Use this for OS environments other than Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Mac OS X.
- Linux Install Using the RPM Package
- Linux Install Using ZIP with Bundled JRE
- Solaris Install Using ZIP with Bundled JRE
- Windows Install Using ZIP with Bundled JRE
Verify the Machine Agent Installation.
Start the Machine Agent by executing <machine_agent_home>/bin/machine-agent. If you have java or system properties, you can add them to the end of the command. To review machine usage, enter machine-agent -h.
