Associate Configuration Profiles to Server Monitor during Agent Installation
Configuration profiles include adding threshold, notification, resource check profiles, and display name(s) to the server monitors. The association of these profiles can be done:
- During the installation of the agent via command line arguments
- During remote installation of Linux servers using SSH
- While adding VM extensions via Azure Command Line Interface (CLI)
- After the installation of the agent, associate configuration profiles to the newly added monitors in the Site24x7 web client
During the Installation of the Agent via Command Line Arguments:
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Server Monitor > Servers (+) > Windows/Linux. For Windows, download and install the agent in the location of your choice. For Linux, execute the commands given in Step 2 under Linux - One-step Installation.
- Open command prompt as administrator and execute the following commands based on your OS type:
Windows: Once the Windows agent is downloaded, go to the path where the file is present and then execute the following command:
Linux:msiexec.exe /i Site24x7WindowsAgent.msi EDITA1=<Device Key> ENABLESILENT=YES REBOOT=ReallySuppress DN=<Display Name> TP=<Threshold profile name> RP=<Resource profile name> NP=<Notification profile name> GN=<Group name> RULE=<Configuration rule Name> /qn
Example:
msiexec.exe /i Site24x7WindowsAgent.msi EDITA1=bhuihij5422ed58c7fdcb9dtfhgh ENABLESILENT=YES REBOOT=ReallySuppress DN="Windows Monitor" TP="sample Server" RP="oneMin" NP="Notification 1" GN="sample group" RULE="production servers" /qn
Docker: For proxy, use the same -e option followed by the proxy key and value.wget https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7InstallScript.sh
bash Site24x7InstallScript.sh -i -key=<Device Key> -dn=<Display Name> -gn=<Group name> -tp=<Threshold profile name> -np=<Notification profile name> -rule=<Configuration rule name>
Example:
bash Site24x7InstallScript.sh -i -key=bhuihij5422ed58c7fdcb9dtfhgh -dn=test_server -gn=aws -tp=profile1 -np=profile2 -rule="production servers"
Alternative Method:
wget https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7_Linux_64bit.install
./Site24x7_Linux_64bit.install -i -key=<Device Key> -dn=test_server -gn=aws -tp=profile1 -np=profile2
docker run -d --name site24x7-agent \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
-v /proc/:/host/proc/:ro \
-v /sys:/host/sys/:ro \
-e key=<device_key> \
-e ct=<configuration_profile_name> \
-e tp=<threshold_profile>\
-e rule=<configuration_rule_name>\

For Linux servers, refer our Knowledge Base document to configure proxy settings. PROXYSERVERNAME <Not applicable> Proxy server name with port link <servername>:<port> PROXYUSERNAME <Not applicable> Proxy user name (if applicable) PROXYPASSWORD <Not applicable> proxy password (if applicable) <Not applicable> f Force install the agent even if there is an agent installed already <Not applicable> lp Enable log profile <Not applicable> lt AppLog type to be associated with the server. For example: -lt=syslog <Not applicable> lf Applog files to be collected for the specified log type. For example: -lf=/var/log/syslog <Not applicable> nk Create a monitor for cloned server <Not applicable> da Install the agent as docker agent TAGS tags Associate tags to the monitor. Refer to the example format to specify multiple tags. Example: -tags=tag_name:<tag1> (or) -tags=tag_name:<tag1>,tag2_name:<tag2> <Not applicable> gid Create Site24x7 agent group with specific group ID <Not applicable> uid Create Site24x7 agent group with a specific user ID <Not applicable> prometheus Integrate Prometheus.

MEM_LIMIT mem_limit=<value> Set the maximum memory the agent can consume (in megabytes). For third party integrations like Slack, PagerDuty, add them to a configuration rule and then apply the configuration rule (RULE/rule) to a server monitor during command line installation. NoteWhen entering the optional parameters, spaces in between names should be enclosed in quotes. For Windows, use double quotes and for Linux, you can use either single or double quotes.
- Go to Server > Server Monitor > Servers to view the newly added monitor(s).
For Windows, the configuration profiles for the installed agent can be found in the Site24x7WindowsAgent registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageEngine\Site24x7WindowsAgent\ServerProfileConfig. For Linux, the configuration profiles for the installed agent can be found in the monagent.cfg file under /opt/site24x7/monagent/conf.
Note
Any change to the existing configuration profiles cannot be made via command line arguments. You can make changes to the profile by going to the Edit Server Monitor page of the respective server monitor (Server > Server Monitor > Servers > click on the server monitor > hover on the hamburger icon beside the display name > Edit > Edit Server Monitor > Configuration Profiles > make the edits and Save the changes).
During Remote Installation of Linux Servers using SSH:
This is a bulk installation method to install multiple Linux servers in one go.
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Server Monitor > Servers (+) > Bulk Install > Linux Bulk Installation Methods > Remote Installation using SSH.
- Copy, paste, and execute the command given in the Site24x7 web client:
sudo -E bash -c "$(curl -sL https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7remoteinstaller.sh)" readlink -i -key=<Device Key>
- Associate configuration profile(s) by appending one or more of the following parameters to the above command:
For example, associate a configuration rule (rule) to the command given in Step 2 as follows:
Parameters Description rule Configuration rule to be associated with the server ct Configuration template to be associated with the server (deprecated) gn Group to which the server has to be added tp Threshold profile to be associated with the server np Notification profile to be associated with the server rp Resource check profile to be associated with the server
The configuration rule will be associated to all the Linux server monitors installed.sudo -E bash -c "$(curl -sL https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7remoteinstaller.sh)" readlink -i -key=<Device Key> -rule=<Configuration rule name>
While Adding VM Extensions via Azure Command Line Interface (CLI):
This is available only for Linux servers.
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Server Monitor > Servers (+) > Bulk Install > Linux Bulk Installation Methods > Azure.
- Append the following parameters to the command given under Step 2 in the web client and execute the command.
For example, associate a configuration rule (rule) to the command given in the web client as follows:Parameters Description rule Configuration rule to be associated with the server ct Configuration template to be associated with the server (deprecated) gn Group to which the server has to be added tp Threshold profile to be associated with the server np Notification profile to be associated with the server rp Resource Profile to be associated with the server
