Server agent

What it collects

• CPU, memory and network;
• disks: space, activity and health (SMART);
• temperatures and the GPU;
• Docker and Podman containers;
• systemd services;
• the error lines of the system journal (journald);
• the state of PostgreSQL, if it finds it on the machine.

It does not collect the errors of your applications: for those you need an SDK.

Install

Download the program into /opt/closeyourit-agent/, with its service file:

arch="$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/; s/aarch64/arm64/')"
sudo mkdir -p /opt/closeyourit-agent
curl -fsSL "https://github.com/bussolabs/closeyourit-agent-community/releases/latest/download/closeyourit-agent_linux_${arch}.tar.gz" \
  | sudo tar -xz -C /opt/closeyourit-agent
sudo curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bussolabs/closeyourit-agent-community/main/examples/closeyourit-agent.service \
  -o /etc/systemd/system/closeyourit-agent.service

Write the two settings in /etc/closeyourit-agent.env:

CYI_ENDPOINT=https://bugs.example.com
CYI_TOKEN=cyi_s_…

Then start the service:

systemctl enable --now closeyourit-agent

The cyi_s_… code is created in the app, on the servers page.

With Docker, use the image ghcr.io/bussolabs/closeyourit-agent with the same two settings; the repository has a ready docker-compose.yml.

Variables

Good to know

• Temperature exists only on physical machines: on virtual servers it stays empty.
• For the health of physical disks you need smartmontools.
