Restoring the Agent Configurations (Linux)

Scenarios

This topic describes how to restore the Agent configurations on the Cloud Eye console (recommended).

Most regions support one-click configuration of Agent permissions. You can choose Server Monitoring > Elastic Cloud Server and click Configure on top of the page. After the configuration is complete, the Agent configurations of all servers in these regions are restored by default, and the Configure button is no longer displayed. If the system displays a message indicating that you not have the required permission, obtain the permission by referring to What Can I Do If the System Displays a Message Indicating Insufficient Permissions When I Click Configure on the Server Monitoring Page? After the Agent permission is granted for a region, you do not need to perform the following steps.

  • The Restore Agent Configurations option is available for Agent 1.0.5 or later. If the Agent version is earlier than 1.0.5, upgrade the Agent first and then restore the Agent configurations or manually configure the Agent by following the instructions in (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
  • For details about how to query the Agent version, see How Do I Query the Current Agent Version?
  • The Restore Agent Configurations option is unavailable for BMSs. For details, see (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
  • After the Agent is configured, its status is still displayed as Uninstalled because no monitoring data is reported yet. Wait 3 to 5 minutes and refresh the page.
  • If the Agent is in the Running state and Monitoring Status is enabled, the Agent has been installed and has started to collect fine-grained metric data.

Restoring the Agent Configurations

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Under Management & Deployment, select Cloud Eye. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Server Monitoring.
  3. On the Server Monitoring page, select a server that has the Agent installed.
  4. Click Restore Agent Configurations.

    Currently, one-click restoration of the Agent configuration is supported in most regions. If there is no One-Click Restore button, the Agent configurations of all servers are restored by default.

  5. In the displayed Restore Agent Configurations dialog box, click One-Click Restore.
    If the Agent status changes to Running, the Agent has been installed and has started to collect fine-grained metric data.
