3 Run the agent launcher using the start or setup option.
Platform Command
UNIX-like
ep-agent.sh start
Windows
Install the Windows service for the agent, then run the it: ep-agent.bat
install ep-agent.bat start command.
When you congure an Endpoint Operations Management agent as a
Windows service, make sure that the credentials that you specify are
sucient for the service to connect to the monitored technology. For
example, if you have anEndpoint Operations Management agent that is
running on Microsoft SQL Server, and only a specic user can log in to that
server, the Windows service login must also be for that specic user.
4 Respond to the prompts, noting the following as you move through the process.
Prompt Description
Enter the server hostname or IP
address
If the server is on the same machine as the agent, you can enter
localhost. If a rewall is blocking trac from the agent to the server,
specify the address of the rewall.
Enter the server SSL port
Specify the SSL port on the vRealize Operations Manager server to which
the agent must connect. The default port is 443.
The server has presented an
untrusted certificate
If this warning appears, but your server is signed by a trusted certicate or
you have updated the thumbprint property to contain the thumbprint,
this agent might be subject to a man-in-the-middle aack. Review the
displayed certicate thumbprint details carefully.
Enter your server username
Enter the name of a vRealize Operations Manager user with
agentManager permissions.
Enter your server password
Enter the password for the specied vRealize Operations Manager. Do not
store the password in the agent.properties le.
The agent initiates a connection to the vRealize Operations Manager server and the server veries that the
agent is authenticated to communicate with it.
The server generates a client certicate that includes the agent token. The message The agent has been
successfully registered appears. The agent starts discovering the platform and supported products
running on it.
Overriding Agent Configuration Properties
You can specify that vRealize Operations Manager override default agent properties when they dier from
custom properties that you have dened.
In the Advanced section of the Edit Object dialog, if you set the Override agent data to false,
default agent conguration data is applied. If you set Override agent data to true, the default
agent parameter values are ignored if you have set alternative values, and the values that you set are
applied.
If you set the value of Override agent data to true when editing an MSSQL object (MSSQL,
MSSQL Database, MSSQL Reporting Services, MSSQL Analysis Service, or MSSQL Agent) that runs in a
cluster, it might result in inconsistent behavior.
Endpoint Operations Management Agent Properties
Multiple properties are supported in the agent.properties le for an Endpoint Operations Management
agent. Not all supported properties are included by default in the agent.properties le.
You must add any properties that you want to use that are not included in the default agent.properties le.
You can encrypt properties in the agent.properties le to enable silent installation.
