Use the installation package prepared by Agent Builder
to install the agent.
Before you begin
Ensure that an agent for
IBM® Performance Management,
usually the operating system agent, is already present on the monitored
system and working.
On Windows systems, use an Administrator command
line shell to install and configure agents. To start an Administrator
shell, select Command Prompt from the Windows Programs menu, right-click,
and click Run as Administrator.
Procedure
- Extract the package to the temporary directory and change
to this directory.
- Install the agent by using the following command,
depending on your operating system:
- On Windows systems, installIraAgent.bat agent_install_location
- On Linux and UNIX systems, ./installIraAgent.sh agent_install_location
Where agent_install_location is the installation
location of the existing agent. The default location is:- On Windows systems, C:\IBM\APM
- On Linux systems, /opt/ibm/apm/agent
- On AIX® systems, /opt/ibm/ccm/agent
Important: If you have added any custom
configuration properties in the Runtime Configuration window of the
Agent Editor, if the agent supports multiple instances, or if the
agent uses any predefined data source that needs configuration (for
example, a user ID and password), you must configure the agent before
it can start. If an agent does not require configuration, it starts
automatically after installation.
