OCI Linux

This section describes the steps to run the downloaded script on an OCI instance running on Linux platform.

If the host is present in the same tenancy and region as that of the fleet, the script will configure Oracle Cloud Agent. However, if the host is not present in the same tenancy and region, or if you prefer to install Oracle Management Agent instead of Oracle Cloud Agent, run the script with the install-mgmt-agent parameter.

Note

In the case of OCI instance pools, you need to individually set up the agent on each instance part of the OCI instance pool.

Prerequisites:

Run the installation script with sudo or administrative access.

Make sure the following policy is added before you run the installation script on OCI Linux instances.

 ALLOW dynamic-group JMS_DYNAMIC_GROUP TO MANAGE instances IN
    COMPARTMENT <instance_compartment_ocid>

See Set up OCI Linux instance for JMS for instructions.

Steps

Go to the folder where you saved the installation script and management agent software. Run the script using the following command:

$ sudo bash ./JMS_YourFleetName_linux.sh

If installation is successful, you'll see a message similar to the following:

...
Management Agent installation has been completed.
Management Agent plugin 'Java Management Service' installation has been completed.
Management Agent plugin 'Java Usage Tracking' installation has been completed.
Management Agent was successfully registered using key YourFleetName (ocid1.managementagentinstallkey.oc1.iad.<ocid hash>).Assigned JMS Fleet is YourFleetName (ocid1.jmsfleet.oc1.iad.<ocid hash>).

Note

By default, the installation script will:

Generate usage tracker with additional functionality to collect the user.name property for better identification of applications running on Application Servers like WebLogic and Tomcat. If you do not want to enable this feature, update the parameter --enable-user-name=false in the installation script. You can modify the Java Usage Tracker properties file in the future to add or remove user.name from the additionalProperties section.
Disable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode for plug-ins. To enable FIPS mode in USGov relams, update the parameter --enable-fips-mode=true in the installation script.
Install the agent with MACS default telemetry frequency.

Run the --help command to view the description of options such as enabling or disabling user name, proxy settings, FIPS, and so on.

The following are the optional parameters along with the description:


-c, --cleanup         Uninstall plug-ins, delete configuration files or restore originals from backups and exit.
-f, --force           Uninstall plug-ins, delete configuration files or restore originals from backups and continue installation.
-h, --help            Print usage message end exit.
--enable-user-name    Generates usage tracker with additional functionality to collect the 'user.name' property for better identification 
                      of applications running on Application Servers like WebLogic and Tomcat servers. 
                      Default value is 'true'. 
--enable-fips-mode    Enable FIPS mode for plug-ins in USGov realms.
                      Format is --enable-fips-mode=true|false (for example, --enable-fips-mode=false).
                      Modify /etc/environment and create a line with ENV_AGENT_PLUGIN_FIPS_APPROVED=true or false.
                      Default value is false.
--install-mgmt-agent  Force Management Agent installation on instance. Use this parameter to monitor an OCI instance belonging to a different tenancy or region.  
--proxy-host          Add proxy host to curl commands, add or replace line 'ProxyHost = VALUE' in install key before Management Agent setup.
                      Format is --proxy-host="VALUE" (for example, --proxy-host="100.0.0.10").
                      Default is no proxy.
--proxy-port          Add proxy port to curl commands, add or replace line 'ProxyPort = VALUE' in install key before Management Agent setup.
                      Format is --proxy-port="VALUE" (for example, --proxy-port="8050").
--proxy-user          Add proxy user to curl commands, add or replace line 'ProxyUser = VALUE' in install key before Management Agent setup.
                      Format is --proxy-user="VALUE" (for example, --proxy-user="opc").
--proxy-password      Add proxy password to curl commands, add or replace line 'ProxyPassword = VALUE' in install key before Management Agent setup.
                      Format is --proxy-password="VALUE" (for example, --proxy-password="example").
--proxy-realm         Add or replace line 'ProxyRealm = VALUE' in install key before Management  Agent setup.
                      Format is --proxy-realm="VALUE" (for example, --proxy-realm="OC1").
--use-agent-installer-path  Path to management agent installation file if it isn't in the same folder as the install script.
--use-java-path      Specify the Oracle Java 8 installation path for agent installation; 
                     if the path is not specified, the script will attempt to find a suitable Oracle Java 8 installation path from the file system. 
                     Format is --use-java-path={CUSTOM_PATH}(for example, --use-java-path=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_361)).

(Optional) To verify if the management agent is running, run the following script on your Linux machine:
```
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Oracle" http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/
```
where 169.254.169.254 is the IP address of the OCI Compute Instance Metadata Service.
If installation is successful, you'll see a message similar to the following:
```
{    
 "desiredState": "ENABLED",
 "name": "Management Agent"
},
{
 "desiredState": "ENABLED",
 "name": "Oracle Java Management Service"
}
```

The log files are located in the /var/log/oracle-cloud-agent/plugins/oci-jms/ directory.
