CloudHealth Linux Agent Installation Helpers

The CloudHealth Linux Agent allows us to collect instance-level metrics.

The configuration details and default settings can be viewed here:

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/remote-collector/agent/v14/install_cht_perfmon.sh -O install_cht_perfmon.sh;
sudo sh install_cht_perfmon.sh 14 #{unique registration code} aws;

We have created CloudHealth Linux agent installation helpers for the commonly used provisioning automation tools. We have helpers for:

• Cloud Init
• Chef Recipe
• Ansible Playbook - BETA
