How To Manually Install Cloudmon Linux Agent on Ubuntu 24

Install the Cloudmon agent manually on Ubuntu 24

Overview

 This guide walks through downloading the agent binary, granting permissions, retrieving your API key, running the agent, and verifying it is active.

ℹ️

Note: Ensure commands are executed with elevated (root) permissions. Verify network reachability between the Agent and Controller before starting the installation.

Step 1 — Download the Latest Agent Package

Open the following URL in your browser:

https://repo.veryxtech.com/cloudmon/versions.json

Copy the Agent URL for agent.linux.x86_64 (starting with https) from the JSON file.

On the Ubuntu 24 machine, run:

curl -O <agent-url>

Example:

curl -O https://repo.veryxtech.com/cloudmon/releases/Linux/cloudmon-agent-5.0.0-12-Linux-x86_64.run

Step 2 — Grant Execute Permissions

chmod +x cloudmon-agent-<version>

Example:

chmod +x cloudmon-agent-5.0.0-12-Linux-x86_64.run

Step 3 — Get the API Key

To obtain the required API Key for registering the Agent:

  1. Log in to the Cloudmon Controller.
  2. Click on your User Profile (top-right corner).
  3. Select Help.
  4. You will be redirected to the Agent article page by default.
  5. Scroll down to the Linux Installation section.
  6. Copy the API Key displayed on the screen.

Step 4 — Run the Agent

./cloudmon-agent-<version> --server <controller-ip> --key <api-key>

Example:

./cloudmon-agent-5.0.0-12-Linux-x86_64.run --server 192.168.1.100 --key your-api-key-here

Replace:

  • <controller-ip> — your Cloudmon Controller IP address
  • <api-key> — the generated API key

Step 5 — Verification

After completing the installation, verify that the Agent service is running and that communication with the Controller is successful.

1. Check Agent Service Status

service cloudmon-agent status

Ensure the service is active (running).

2. Verify Network Connectivity to Controller

ping <controller-ip>

You should receive successful replies.

3. Verify HTTPS Connectivity to Controller

curl -v https://<controller-ip>

This verifies that the Agent can communicate with the Controller over HTTPS.

⚠️
