Getting Started

Installation

First, download the repository into your Home folder or the directory you prefer:

git clone https://github.com/n0nuser/monitor-agent

Install the Python dependencies:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Then, create a Systemd service in /etc/systemd/system/ called agent.service.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/agent.service:

[Unit]
Description=RESTful web to track agents
After=network.target network-online.target
Requires=network-online.target

[Service]
RemainAfterExit=true
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/MYUSER/monitor-agent/monitor_agent/main.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Modify MYUSER with your user, and DIRECTORY with the path to the main.py. In case you downloaded the repository in your Home folder you wouldn't need to change the directory in the service file.

Once the service is installed, you can enable it to run forever and start on startup:

sudo systemctl enable agent.service
sudo systemctl start agent.service
systemctl status agent.service

Configuration

The user can configure the agent and server settings with the settings.json file:

{
    "alerts": {
        "url": "http://localhost:8000/api/alerts/"
    },
    "auth": {
        "agent_token": "fb79210dd15ea00aeeb4bb21f81b27421a4e11a7",
        "name": "Laptop",
        "user_token": "19fc6e57b8fb0e5a1a7b55976952ab02865aa771"
    },
    "endpoints": {
        "agent_endpoint": "http://localhost:8000/api/agents/",
        "metric_endpoint": "http://localhost:8000/api/metrics/"
    },
    "logging": {
        "filename": "monitor.log",
        "level": "info"
    },
    "metrics": {
        "enable_logfile": false,
        "get_endpoint": false,
        "log_filename": "metrics.json",
        "post_interval": 60
    },
    "thresholds": {
        "cpu_percent": 50,
        "ram_percent": 30
    },
    "uvicorn": {
        "backlog": 2048,
        "debug": false,
        "host": "0.0.0.0",
        "log_level": "trace",
        "port": 8080,
        "reload": true,
        "timeout_keep_alive": 5,
        "workers": 4
    }
}

It's best to use the configurator from the Monitor Web App as it automatically generates it with the approppiate configuration. You can always update the configuration with a form in the Web App.

Once configured, restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart agent.service
