The hybrid installation method combines an OSPatrol server with an OSPatrol agent. This allows a system to be a server for a number of agents, and to be an agent to another server. By default the hybrid installation type installs the server portion to /var/ospatrol, and the agent in /var/ospatrol/ospatrol-agent.
This will be multiple fully functioning OSPatrol installations, make sure you plan for the necessary disk space. For instance, one of my hybrid servers shows the following:
$ sudo du -hs /var/ospatrol/ospatrol-agent/
1.2G /var/ospatrol/ospatrol-agent/
- The install.sh script will display information about the host including the user name and hostname. Press enter to continue.
- Select
hybridas the type of installation and select the installation location:
- Prepare for compilation:
- The server side's compilation is complete:
- Next configure the agent portion of the hybrid installation:
- After successfully compiling the agent portion you should see a screen similar to this:
- Now that the installation is complete the encryption key needs to be installed. This key will be created on the manager and copied to the agent. The simplest way to
do this is using the manage_agents utility, although creating keys one by one may be time consuming if there are a lot of agents. Othe methods will be covered late
