This section discusses installing the cloud agent over a proxy.

Install the Cloud Agent Over a Proxy Server

If you are installing a cloud agent over a proxy server and haven’t deployed a gateway, then ensure to perform the following before proceeding:

• Review the Prerequisites for Installing Cloud Agents.

• Specify the values of the Registration Parameters and Communication Parameters in the response file.

• Specify the values of the parameters listed in Parameters for Installing a Cloud Agent Over a Proxy Server in the response file.

To perform the cloud agent installation over a proxy server:

1. Log on to the host where you will install the cloud agent and navigate to the directory where you extracted the cloud agent ZIP file that you previously downloaded.

2. Have your response file ready. Ensure that you have specified the parameters for installing a cloud agent over a proxy server in the response file (agent.rsp), and it’s saved under the same directory where the AgentInstall script is located. The AgentInstall script reads and obtains the values of the installation parameters from the response file at installation time.

3. Run the AgentInstall agent installation script to install a cloud agent.

   • If you are installing a cloud agent on a UNIX-based host:

     ./AgentInstall.sh

   • If you are installing a cloud agent on a Windows host, right-click and select Run as administrator to open an Administrator command prompt and run the following:

     AgentInstall.bat

If your organization decides to change the proxy server settings for security reasons after completing the agent installation, then you can modify the proxy server settings for your installed agents. See Change Proxy Server Settings After Installing Cloud Agents.

Note:

Oracle Management Cloud Agents (Cloud Agents, Data Collectors, Gateways) do not support NTLM Authorization Proxy Servers (APS).
