Installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent in silent mode

You can install the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent in silent mode in one of two ways:

Using all the default values
Using customized values

Downloading the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent files

The BMC Application Diagnostics Agent installation scripts are packaged with the BMC Application Diagnostics Installer, and are used to install the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent in silent mode.

Before using silent mode, you must copy the following files to the local directory on the computer on which the Agent will be installed:

For Windows
- adops-agent-install.bat
- agentInstaller.jar
For Linux
- adops-agent-install.sh
- agentInstaller.jar

Notes

You must have Execute privileges on the installation scripts.
If you want to install the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent installation script files in the same location from which the installation is run, ensure that you have Write privileges on that location.

Installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent in silent mode using default values

Download the BMC Application Diagnostics files.
Run the following command:
- For Windows:
  adops-agent-install.bat -s
- For Linux:
  adops-agent-install.sh -s
  The -s parameter specifies to install in silent mode, using the following default values:
  - Installation directory: The directory from which the installation script is run
  - Portal port: 8100
  - Portal host: localhost
Configure the Java options according to the application server type so that the Agent displays in the list of available Agents.

Installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Agent in silent mode using customized configuration settings

You can customize the silent installation to suit your deployment by running the install command with specified parameter values.

Download the BMC Application Diagnostics files.
Run the following command, and enter the values for the relevant parameters (see Description of parameter settings for parameter details):
- For Windows:
  adops-agent-install.bat -s -d <destination_path> -n <host_display_name> -a <application_display_name> -ph <portal_IP_Address> -t <portal_port>
  -phttph <proxy_http_host> -phttpp <proxy_http_port> -phttpsh <proxy_https_host> -phttpsp <proxy_https_port> -psocksh <proxy_socks_host> -psocksp <proxy_socks_port>
- For Linux:
  adops-agent-install.sh -s -d <destination_path> -n <host_display_name> -a <application_display_name> -ph <portal_IP_Address> -t <portal_port>
  -phttph <proxy_http_host> -phttpp <proxy_http_port> -phttpsh <proxy_https_host> -phttpsp <proxy_https_port> -psocksh <proxy_socks_host> -psocksp <proxy_socks_port>
  Description of parameter settings
  The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
  This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
  Tip
  Run adops-agent-install.bat -h (on Windows) or adops-agent-install.sh -h (on Linux) to display all parameters.
Once the installation is complete, you can view the parameters selected during installation in the bmc_ad_agent_install.log file which is located on the same folder as the install script and the agentInstaller.jar.
Configure the Java options according to the application server type so that the Agent displays in the list of available Agents.
