Data Collector: Other Installation Use Cases

This section discusses other data collector installation use cases.

• It is recommended not to use root user to install a data collector.

• You install a data collector by running the AgentInstall script from the command line. The AgentInstall script reads a set of parameters that can be specified in a response file (agent.rsp) or they can be passed along in the command line.

• If you haven't saved the agent.rsp response file in the same directory where you have saved the AgentInstall script, then you must pass the AGENT_RSP_FILE parameter in the command line with the location of the response file when you run the AgentInstall script. See Install a Data Collector Specifying Parameters in the Command Line.
