KAgent Installation

KAgent can be deployed as a RHEL, Ubuntu, or SUSE installation package on any server inside or outside the cluster. Automatically download & install the latest KAgent version using these commands:
KAGENT_REPO=https://repo.kinetica.com/yum/7.2/CentOS/8/x86_64
KAGENT_PKG=$(wget -q -O - ${KAGENT_REPO} | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | grep -o "kagent.*ga.*rpm " | sort -V | tail -1)
wget ${KAGENT_REPO}/${KAGENT_PKG}
sudo yum install ./${KAGENT_PKG}
Alternatively, visit the KAGENT_REPO link below to search for a specific version of KAgent, change KAGENT_PKG to that version on line 2, and then run the modified commands to download & install that version:
KAGENT_REPO=https://repo.kinetica.com/yum/7.2/CentOS/8/x86_64
KAGENT_PKG=kagent-7.2.0.4.20240326024429.ga-0.x86_64.el8.rpm
wget ${KAGENT_REPO}/${KAGENT_PKG}
sudo yum install ./${KAGENT_PKG}
This installs the package to the directory /opt/gpudb/kagent and registers and starts the kagent_ui service. KAgent will open port 8081 on the local firewall (if enabled).
