pshinde · ‎04 Apr 2018

Hi we want to install the OneAgent on linux server using non root id. Platform team can give access to certain sudo command which we use to install the agent,start & stop the agent. Kindly advice if it is supported and list of command we need to have part of sudo list to support OneAgent fuctions.

Hello Prashant,

To fully automate the monitoring of your operating systems, processes, and network interfaces Dynatrace requires privileged access to your operating system during both installation and operation.

For Linux:

for systems with SystemV: service oneagent stop
for systems with systemd: systemctl stop oneagent

where oneagent is the init.d script for OneAgent.

For Linux:

for systems with SystemV: service oneagent start
for systems with systemd: systemctl start oneagent

where oneagent is the init.d script for OneAgent.

Review the below links for more insight.

Hi Prashant,

OneAgent installer requires privileged access, installing as unprivileged user is not supported.

There is an unprivileged operation mode for OneAgent coming as a BETA feature, this should be announced soon.
