This section discusses installing a data collector over a gateway.

Install a Data Collector Over a Gateway

If your data collector communicates with Oracle Management Cloud through a gateway, ensure to perform the following before proceeding:

• Review the Prerequisites for Installing a Data Collector.

• Specify the values of the Registration Parameters for Installing Cloud Agents and Communication Parameters for Installing Cloud Agents in the response file based on your requirements.

• Specify the values of the Data Collector Parameters and Optional Data Collector Parameters in the response file based on your requirements.

• Specify the values of the Communication Parameters for Installing a Data Collector or a Cloud Agent Over a Gateway in the response file.

• If your organization connects to the Internet over a proxy server, then you also need to specify the values of the proxy-related parameters listed in Parameters for Installing Any Agent Over a Proxy Server in the response file.

To perform a data collector installation over a gateway:

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

   If you haven’t completed this step previously, see Download the Oracle Management Cloud Agent Software.

2. Edit your agent.rsp response file. Ensure that you have specified the parameters for installing a data collector over a gateway in the response file (agent.rsp), and it’s saved under the same directory where the AgentInstall script is located.

3. Run the AgentInstall installation script to install a data collector.

   • If you are installing a data collector on a UNIX-based host:

     ./AgentInstall.sh

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

     AgentInstall.bat
