How To Manually Install Cloudmon On Ubuntu 24.

How To Manually Install Cloudmon On Ubuntu 24.

Overview

Cloudmon officially supports Ubuntu 22. When deploying on Ubuntu 24, manual installation of the Collector and Probe packages is required.

Step 1: Download the Latest Collector and Probe Packages

  1. Open the following URL in your browser:

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

  1. Copy the Collector URL (starting with https) from the JSON file.

  2. On the Ubuntu 24 machine, run:
    a.     curl -O <collector-url>
            


  1. Copy the Probe URL (starting with https) from the same file.

         a. Run:  curl -O <probe-url>

 

Step 2 : Grant Execute Permissions

For Collector
chmod +x cloudmon-collector-<version>

Example:

chmod +x cloudmon-collector-4.3.0-14-Linux-x86_64.run


 

For Probe

chmod +x cloudmon-probe-<version>

Example:

chmod +x cloudmon-probe-5.0.1-13-Linux-x86_64.run


 

 

Step 4: Run the Collector

To obtain the required API Key for registering the Collector:

  1. Log in to the Cloudmon Controller.
  2. Click on your User Profile (top-right corner).
  3. Select Help.
  4. From the top banner, choose Probe.
  5. Scroll down to the Linux Installation section.
  6. Copy the API Key displayed on the screen.

Refer to the screenshot below for guidance.

Then execute:

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

Replace:

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

 

Step 5: Start the Probe

./cloudmon-probe-<version>

Important Notes

  • Do not include angle brackets (< >) when entering actual values in commands.
  • Ensure commands are executed with elevated (root) permissions.
  • Verify network reachability between the Probe and Controller before starting the installation.
  • Ubuntu 24 installations require this manual method due to current official support being limited to Ubuntu 22.

Step 6: Verification

After completing the installation, verify that the Collector and Probe services are running and that communication with the Controller is successful.

  1.    Check Collector Service Status
service cloudmon-collector@* status
Ensure the service is active (running).

2.    Check Probe Service Status
service cloudmon-probe status
Confirm the Probe service is also active (running).

3.     Verify Network Connectivity to Controller
From the Probe machine, check reachability:
ping <controller-ip>
You should receive successful replies.

4.    Verify HTTPS Connectivity to Controller
From the Probe machine, test HTTPS connectivity:
curl -v https://<controller-ip>
This verifies that the Probe can communicate with the Controller over HTTPS.
