Quick agent configuration

You can quickly and easily configure the agent by running the setup.sh file among the DBX agent configuration files.

Unzipping the downloaded file​

Unzip the downloaded DBX agent file.

BASH
tar -zxvf whatap.agent.database.tar.gz

Running setup.sh​

Run the setup.sh file and then follow the on-screen instructions to configure the agent, enter the DB server information, download JDBC, create an account for monitoring, and set the roles. Enter the required data to automatically complete all settings.

BASH
./setup.sh

setup.sh

Note

To cancel the agent configuration process, enter 'q' or 'quit' and then press Enter.

STEP1 Register WhaTap server information​

BASH
WhaTap Server Ip?
WhaTap Server Port (default 6600)?

Enter the WhaTap's server information. In the DBX Agent Setting section of Management > Agent Installation, you can see the server IP and port number.

The default value of the WhaTap's server port is 6600. If you press Enter with no entry, the values are set to default.

STEP2 Register WhaTap server access key​

BASH
WhaTap Project Access Key?

Enter the project access key. In the Check access key section of Management > Agent Installation, select Copy and then paste it.

If a correct access key is entered, the project code is output.

STEP3 Register DB server information (ip/port check)​

BASH
Monitoring DBMS type?
Monitoring DBMS Server Ip?
Monitoring DBMS Server Port?

Enter the information of the database server for monitoring.

  • Monitoring DBMS type: Select a type of the database displayed on the screen.

  • Monitoring DBMS Server Ip: Enter the IP address of the database server.

  • Monitoring DBMS Server Port: Enter the port number of the database server.

Note

After entering the IP address and port number of the database server, verify the connection status. If you enter incorrect values, you must enter the IP address and port number again.

STEP4 Download jdbc driver​

The JDBC driver that matches the OS and database server version is automatically downloaded to the DBX agent path.

STEP5 Register a monitoring account​

Monitoring User ID?
Monitoring User {user_id}'s Password?
Connecting DBMS Server with SSL (default false)?

It is the process to generate an encrypted UID for database connection. Enter the account created in the Create account section.

If you complete the agent installation process by using the setup.sh file, database information and settings in the whatap.conf file appear.

setup.sh

To use the agent like a daemon, enter 'y' in the last field.
