Enabling Advanced Monitoring for Linux VM

This section provides step-by-step instructions to enable advanced monitoring for a Linux VM.

Steps to Enable Advanced Monitoring:

  • Log in to the cloud management portal.

  • Select the VM where you want to enable advanced monitoring, then click on it.

  • Navigate to the Monitoring section. You will see the "Configure Advanced Monitoring" button in the top-right corner of the portal. Click on it.

  • Clicking the "Configure Advanced Monitoring" button will open a new tab in your browser.

  • The activation process consists of three steps:

  • Installing the Agent

  • Checking Port Status

  • Finalizing Activation

  • Begin by installing the monitoring agent inside the VM. Click the "Generate" button on the Configure Agent screen.

  • Once the agent installation link is generated, click the "Copy" button to copy the link.

  • Log in to the Linux VM, paste the copied link into the terminal, and ensure the command is executed with sudo privileges.

  • The agent installation process will begin and may take a few minutes to complete.

  • Once installed, the monitoring agent will be successfully activated on your VM.

  • Ensure that port 9100 is allowed in the firewall settings of your cloud portal and configure port forwarding to route traffic to the corresponding VM.

  • After configuring the Linux VM, switch back to the Advanced Monitoring Portal and click the "Check" button to validate the agent installation.

  • Upon successful validation, a confirmation message will be displayed, and the page will automatically redirect to the VM Advanced Monitoring Dashboard.
