Add Existing Servers to Ops Manager

On this page

Overview

You can allow Ops Manager to install, manage, and discover MongoDB processes on your existing servers. To do so, you install the Automation Agent on each server.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the directories used by the Automation Agent have appropriate permissions for the user running the agent.

You can install the Automation Agent on the operating systems listed in Ops Manager on the Administration tab’s Agents page.

To install the agent using rpm or deb packages, you must have root access.

Important

If a server runs MongoDB Enterprise, you must install the prerequisite packages on the server before deploying MongoDB Enterprise on the servers.

Procedure

Install the Automation Agent on each each server that you want Ops Manager to manage. The following procedure applies to all operating systems. For instructions for a specific operating system, see Install the Automation Agent.

1

Select the Administration tab and then select Agents.

2

Under Automation at the bottom of the page, click your operation system and follow the instructions to install and run the agent.

If the install file is a tar.gz archive file, make sure to extract the archive after download.

3

Ensure that the directories used by the Automation Agent have appropriate permissions for the user that runs the agent.

Set the required permissions described in Directory and File Permissions.

Once you have installed the agent to all your servers, you can deploy your first replica set, cluster, or standalone.
