not a support question

Hi all,
Seems as though a while ago we had opscenter-agent in our puppet scripts to automatically deploy using yum onto some machines -- it worked at that time. But it doesn't work anymore.
IIRC, it may have been in the EPEL repository at the time, but now has been removed? Any chance DataStax can host this somewhere so I can continue to auto-provision machines with the agent?
Cheers,
Branden

Branden,
I don't believe we've ever hosted the agent packages separately on our repositories. There are deb and rpm packages for the agent bundled inside the opscenter package itself; perhaps these are what you were using?
Also note that when OpsCenter starts up for the first time, it generates files used for SSL communication with the agent. These are then put into an agent tarball (to support users who want to install the agent manually) and installed directly when OpsCenter goes through its normal agent installation routine. If you want SSL to be enabled, you will also need to copy the files from the "ssl" directory on the opscenterd machine (/usr/share/opscenter/agent/ssl if working from a package install) to the "ssl" directory on the agent machines (/var/lib/opscenter-agent/ssl/).

*scratches head* Must have been an EPEL repo that had it. It's useful to have for provisioning a performance testing environment, but like you say there would be additional steps necessary for production (ssl).
Maybe I can just set up a POST request to get OpsCenter to have it deploy the agents.
You must log in to post.
