Support for Debian 10 buster? #155

Closed Carrotman42 closed 4 years ago

Carrotman42 commented 4 years ago

Please let me know if this should be asked elsewhere.

I tried to install the monitoring agent based on instructions from the official docs but it turns out my OS is not supported; this is correctly reflected on the list of supported OSes, where Debian 9 "Stretch" is listed but no later versions are available.

Is there known incompatibility with Debian 10 "buster", or has an official release just not yet been created?

igorpeshansky commented 4 years ago

This is being actively worked on. As a heads-up, we will very likely not release Debian 10 off the stackdriver-agent-5.5.2 branch, but rather from a newer codebase, so it'll be in a new major agent version, which will remove some of the third-party integrations (see the agent deprecation policy).

Carrotman42 commented 4 years ago

I don't quite mind which codebase will be used as long as it will export the extra metrics promised by various docs :)

igorpeshansky commented 4 years ago

The next major release (6.0.0) will deprecate a number of third-party integrations, as indicated in https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/agent/plugins/, which is why I mentioned it.

Carrotman42 commented 4 years ago

Thanks for clarifying. In my case my third-party application isn't supported, so I'm just looking for the general OS-level stats.

There are any other way to monitor RAM usage on GCP?

@Carrotman42 Did you manage to workaround the problem? I need some basic stats like RAM and disk usage like you.

EDIT: this url is empty. https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists/google-cloud-monitoring-buster/main/binary-amd64/Packages

but this is not empty: https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists/google-cloud-monitoring-buster-unstable/main/binary-amd64/Packages

EDIT2: for people that hit this bug like me:

change this line on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-monitoring.list from: deb http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt google-cloud-monitoring-buster main to deb http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt google-cloud-monitoring-buster-unstable main then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install stackdriver-agent
sudo systemctl restart stackdriver-agent.service

hope this help

igorpeshansky commented 4 years ago

Careful with unstable. As the name implies, the package in that repo may be completely broken at any point, and is not guaranteed to work. Further, unstable does not keep older packages, so you're always getting the latest push, and one install unstable may not be the same as another. Use at your own risk. We plan to release a stable 6.0.0 version with support for Debian 10 before the end of this quarter.

mercuriete commented 4 years ago

@igorpeshansky Thanks for the clarification. I'll wait for stable in my production environments.

Debian 10 is now officially supported: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/agent/install-agent#agent-install-debian.
