(Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent on a Windows Server

Scenarios

After you install the Agent, configure it by clicking Restore Agent Configurations on the Cloud Eye console. If the Agent fails to be configured by clicking Restore Agent Configurations or due to other reasons, manually configure it by following the instructions provided in this topic.

Constraints

The Agent cannot be installed on Windows BMSs.

Prerequisites

The Agent has been installed.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the ECS.
  2. Open the conf.json file in the telescope_windows_amd64\bin directory.
  3. Configure the following parameters. For details, see Table 1. 
    {
    "InstanceId":"",
    "ProjectId": "",
    "AccessKey": "",
    "SecretKey": "",
    "RegionId": "xx-xx-xx",
    "ClientPort": 0,
    "PortNum": 200
}

    Parameter

    Description

    InstanceId

    (Optional) Specifies the ECS ID. You can log in to the management console and view the ECS ID in the ECS list.

    NOTE:

    If you do not configure InstanceId, retain "InstanceId":"". If you configure it, ensure that the following two requirements are met:

    • The ECS ID must be unique at all sites, that is, in the same region, InstanceId used by the Agent cannot be the same. Otherwise, errors may occur.
    • The InstanceId value must be consistent with the actual ECS ID. Otherwise, you cannot see the OS monitoring data on Cloud Eye.

    ProjectId

    Specifies the project ID. You do not need to configure ProjectId. Retain "ProjectId": "". If you wish to configure it, perform the following operations:

    1. Log in to the Cloud Eye console, click the username in the upper right corner, and choose My Credentials.
    2. Under Projects, obtain the project ID for the region where the ECS is located.

    AccessKey/SecretKey

    To obtain the AK and SK, perform the following operations:

    Log in to the Cloud Eye console, click the username in the upper right corner, and choose My Credentials, and choose Access Keys.

    • If you have obtained the access key, obtain the AccessKey value and the SecretKey value in the credentials.csv file saved when you create Access Keys.
    • If no access keys are available, click Create Access Key to create one. Save the credentials.csv file and obtain the AccessKey value and the SecretKey value in it.

    RegionId

    Specifies the region ID. Contact the administrator to obtain it.

    ClientPort

    Specifies the start port number used by the Agent.

    NOTE:

    The default value is 0, indicating that the Agent will randomly use any port. Ports 1 to 1023 are reserved. You are advised not to specify a port in this range for the Agent.

    PortNum

    Specifies the number of ports configured for the Agent.

    NOTE:

    The default value is 200. If ClientPort is 5000, the port range will be 5000 to 5199.
  4. Wait for a few minutes.

    If Agent Status is Running and Monitoring Status is enabled, the Agent has been installed and starts to collect fine-grained metric data.
