Update v2 Config

Find your agent key from your old config file, or from the device page in your Server Density account.

Edit your v2 agent and add your agent key to the agent_key config variable. Also add your Server Density account name to the sd_account config variable, similar to below.

nano /etc/sd-agent/config.cfg

[Main]
sd_account: example
agent_key: 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Your Server Density account is the subdomain you use to login. For example, if you use https://example.serverdensity.io then your Server Density account is example

Update Official Plugin Configs

Edit the official plugin configurations to reflect your requirements. These are located in /etc/sd-agent/conf.d/ and have the default name of service.yaml.example. In order to use these you need to change the file name and ensure all configuration variables in the file is correctly set. 

mv /etc/sd-agent/conf.d/apache.yaml.example /etc/sd-agent/conf.d/apache.yaml
nano /etc/sd-agent/conf.d/apache.yaml
