19.4 Installing Insight Control for Linux management agents

The Insight Control for Linux management agents are deployed to all managed systems to gather
monitoring data from managed systems. Doing so enables

Nagios

and

Supermon

to collect data

from managed systems. This deployment is performed automatically as part of the
Options

→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services task.

If you add or remove managed systems, you need to rerun the Configure Management Services
task, which will also reinstall the management agents. Otherwise, the configuration would no
longer be valid for monitoring with Nagios.

You can deploy the Insight Control for Linux management agents manually at any time to reinstall
agents on a managed system. For example, in case the agents failed to install during the
Options

→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services task or if you reimaged a managed system

that you want to monitor.

IMPORTANT:

This task requires that HP SIM SSH keys be successfully configured on all managed

systems. For more information, see

Section 8.3.4 (page 80)

.

Use the following procedure if you need to reinstall the management agents. For example, you
would need to reinstall them because you installed a new operating system on a managed system.
1.

Select the following menu item from the Insight Control user interface:

Deploy

→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→IC-Linux→Install Agents...

2.

Select the {collection_name}_Servers subcollection as the target.

3.

Select Next.

4.

When processing is complete, select the following menu item to review the log files to determine
if the operation was successful:

Tasks & Logs

→View Task Results

5.

Select the Stdout and Stderr tabs on the tasks results screen to see more information. Review
the output in the Stdout and Stderr tabs and proceed to

Section 19.5 (page 156)

if no errors

are found.
