QuerySurge Agent Installation
Prepare for Installation
- Download the QuerySurge Installer to the machine(s) you want to install the Agent on. Note that you must use the same installer version to install an Agent as your QuerySurge version.
- At the linux prompt on each machine, use the cd command to go to the directory in which you have downloaded the installer.
- At the prompt, issue the command ls –al to check the filename. You should see a listing similar to the following (where ‘x.x.x’ is the QuerySurge version number):
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 232635922 Nov 21 11:07 querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run - To make the installer file executable, type
chmod +x <filename>at the prompt, where <filename> is the QuerySurge installer name from the previous command:chmod +x querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x86.run - Type
ls -al again to confirm the change; at the left of the file listing, you should see rwxrwxr-x:-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 232635922 Nov 21 11:07 querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x64.run
Install a QuerySurge Agent
- On a box designated for a QuerySurge Agent, issue the following command at the prompt: ./<filename> where
<filename>is the QuerySurge installer (where ‘x.x.x’ is the QuerySurge version number):./querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x86.run
If the box has a desktop, then use:./querysurge-installer-x.x.x-linux-x86.run --mode text - Press the 'Enter' key as required to review the license agreement, which begins:

------------------------------------------------------------------ - The QuerySurge Agent should install. This will take several minutes (< 10 min)
- Once the installer has completed, your QuerySurge Agent should be installed, and should have self-registered with QuerySurge, but it will not be Enabled. Log into QuerySurge as a QuerySurge Admin user, and navigate to the Admin view. In the upper left of the Admin view, click on Agents in the Admin tree. A list of existing Agents will show in the grid in the main panel. Locate the Agent you have just installed, and Enable it by clicking on the checkbox in the Enabled column. In the lower right of the main panel, click on the Refresh button. You should now see in the Last Ping column that the Agent has successfully pinged into QuerySurge.
- You may want to install additional Agents (a minimum of one is required). Currently, there is a limit of one Agent install per Operating System (OS). You can repeat this procedure on additional OS's.
QuerySurge Agents
QuerySurge Agents are delegated the actual query tasks by QuerySurge. By default, the QuerySurge Agent installs as a service – so it will start automatically when your Agent platform restarts, does not require a user to be logged in and has no user interface.
Deploy your Agent(s) to suitable boxes in your environment. While Agents may be deployed to any Red Hat Linux platform from RHEL 5 onward, please note that the physical resources (principally RAM) of the deployment platform may limit the overall resultset size your Agents can handle. More memory is always better.
Enable your QuerySurge Agent
To enable a QuerySurge Agent, complete the following steps:
- When you installed the Agent, you connected the Agent to QuerySurge (Step 10 above). This allowed the Agent to automatically register itself with QuerySurge. However, while the Agent is registered, it is not enabled.
- To enable your Agent, log into QuerySurge as a QuerySurge Admin. Use the menu or the toolbar to go to the Admin view in QuerySurge. Click on the Agents node in the left nav tree. Find your new Agent (it will usually be identified by either the machine name or IP address of the machine it is installed on), and click the Enabled checkbox to the left of the Hostname of the Agent installation.
Once you have done this, the Agent should connect to QuerySurge and be ready to execute queries.
