Plugin Installation
- Download and install the latest version of the Site24x7 Linux agent in the network where you plan to run the plugin. If it is installed successfully, you will see a Linux server monitor in the Site24x7 Control Panel. This confirms that the agent is able to communicate with our data center.
- Depending on your requirement, download the plugin file(s) from our GitHub repository.
For example, to download the 'confluent_kafka' plugin,wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/site24x7/plugins/master/confluent/confluent_kafka/confluent_kafka.sh
- Open the plugin script file and set the values for HOSTNAME, PORT , JAVA_HOME.
- Create a folder with the plugin name, under the Site24x7 Linux agent plugin directory '/opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/' and place the script file under '/opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/'folder name'/'. For example, create a folder 'confluent_kafka' and place the 'confluent_kafka.sh' file under '/opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/confluent_kafka/'.
The agent will automatically execute the plugin within five minutes and send performance data to the Site24x7 data center.
View Data in the Site24x7 Web Client
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Plugins > click on the name of the plugin monitor.
