Installing and Configuring the Agent on a Windows Server

This topic describes how to install the Agent on a Windows ECS.

The Agent cannot be installed on Windows BMSs.

Windows and Linux OSs are supported. For details, see What OSs Does the Agent Support?

You have performed operations described in Modifying the DNS Server Address and Adding Security Group Rules (Windows).
Use an administrator account to install the Agent.
Ensure that the Telescope process is not stopped by other processes after the installation.
You have obtained the Agent installation package (Windows).

Log in to the Windows ECS as an administrator.
Open a browser, and enter the address of the Agent installation package in the address box to download and save the installation package.
Access the directory storing the installation package.
Open Windows PowerShell and run the following command to install the plug-in:
```
install_amd64.exe -r eu-west-101 -u 0.1.9 -t 2.7.2 -d agent.ces.myhuaweicloud.eu -o myhuaweicloud.eu
```
Wait for 3 to 5 minutes, locate the server on the Server Monitoring page, and check the plug-in status.

If the Agent status changes to Running, the Agent was installed and has started to collect data.

After you configure the Agent, its status is still displayed as Uninstalled because no monitoring data is not reported yet. Wait 3 to 5 minutes and refresh the page.
