Installing the Agent

This section describes how to install the Agent for an existing BMS. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Adding the Resolved Domain Names: Add the resolved domain names of regions to the /etc/resolv.conf file on the BMS.
  2. Configuring the Security Group: Download the Telescope package, send metrics, and collect logs.
  3. Installing the Agent: Manually install the Agent on the BMS.

Adding the Resolved Domain Names

  1. Log in to the BMS as user root.
  2. Enter vi /etc/resolv.conf to open the /etc/resolv.conf file.
  3. Add nameserver 100.125.1.250 and nameserver 100.125.21.250 to the file, as shown in Figure 1.
    Figure 1 Adding the resolved domain names

    The values of nameserver vary depending on the region.

    CN North-Beijing1: 100.125.1.250 and 100.125.21.250

    CN North-Beijing4: 100.125.1.250 and 100.125.129.250

    CN East-Shanghai1: 100.125.1.250,100.125.64.250

    CN South-Guangzhou: 100.125.1.250 and 100.125.136.29

    CN-Hong Kong: 100.125.1.250, 100.125.3.250

    AP-Bangkok: 100.125.1.250,100.125.3.250

    LA-Santiago: 100.125.1.250

  4. Press Esc and enter :wq! to save the configuration.
