Ubuntu EOL – Server Density

Packages for EOL Ubuntu distributions are no longer receiving any updates, but are still available for your use.

The following EOL releases have agent packages:

Precise 12.04

Automatic installation

You can install the agent automatically using our shell script, or with our Puppet, Chef, Ansible and Salt modules. See automatically scaling and deploying the agent.

Prerequisites

A device created in your Server Density account (Find out how to create a device in the UI)
sudo (root access) is required but the agent runs as its own user (sd-agent) once installed.
The agent requires sysstat to be installed to collect some key metrics. This will be installed as a dependency during installation.
Our repository requires that apt-transport-https be installed before adding to your sources list. You can install apt-transport-https with the command:
```
apt-get install apt-transport-https
```
