Installing the Agent on an Independent Container Node

Scenarios

To enable container protection for an independent node, you need to install an agent on the node.

Prerequisites

There is at least one node with an online agent in the VPC of the nodes where the agent is to be installed. Otherwise, install the agent using the command line provided in Installing the Agent on Servers.

Installing the Agent on an Independent Container Node

  1. Log in to the HSS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region or project.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Installation & Configuration > Container Install & Config.
  4. Click the Independent Nodes tab.
  5. Locate the node where the agent is in the Not installed state. Click Install Agent in the Operation column.
  6. On the agent installation page, configure Server Authentication Mode.

    • Account and password
      • If Allow direct connection with root permissions is selected:

        The root account can be used to log in to the server. Provide the root user password and login port. HSS will use your root account to install the agent for the server.

      • If Allow direct connection with root permissions is not selected:

        The root account cannot be used to log in to the server. Provide another username and password for login, and the root password for privilege escalation. HSS will use the provided account information to install the agent for the server.

    • Key

      Only user-created keys are supported. Click Upload Key and upload a user-created key file in .pem format.

  7. Confirm the information and click OK.

    You can view the Agent Status column to check the agent installation status. If the Agent Status is Online, the agent has been installed.
