Install a Data Collector Over a Proxy Server

This section discusses installing a data collector over a proxy server.

Install a Data Collector Over a Proxy Server

If you are installing a data collector over a proxy server, 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 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 proxy server:

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 proxy server 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

Note:

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