Restoring the Agent Configurations on a Linux Server

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 do not have the required permission, rectify the fault by referring to FAQ.

  • The Restore Agent Configurations option is available for Agent 1.0.14 or later. If the Agent version is earlier than 1.0.14, 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).
  • The Restore Agent Configurations option is unavailable for BMSs. For details, see (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
  • After you configure the Agent, its status is still displayed as Not installed 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. Click Service List in the upper left corner, and 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.

    If the Configure button is unavailable, check whether the one-click configuration function described in the scenario is enabled. If it is, the Agent permissions of all servers have been configured by default. In this case, skip the next step.

  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.
