New Version of CloudHealth Agent for Linux Instances -- Version 19

The CloudHealth Agent allows you to deploy endpoint agents to running cloud or data center servers in order to gather local configuration and performance information. See this Help Center article for more detail on the CloudHealth Agent.

We recently completed work on the new Linux version of the CloudHealth Agent (v19).  

For instructions on downloading and installing the Agent, please see the CloudHealth Monitoring Agent page on the Help Center. 

Customers who have selected "Auto Update" in their "Agent Settings" will receive the new version automatically over the next few weeks.  (If you do not wish to be automatically updated, you may set the "Auto Update" to off for your account or for individual instances.)  Customers who deploy CloudHealth agents via Chef or other deployment software should update their installation scripts to use the new release. Contact CloudHealth Support with any questions.

This new version includes several bug fixes and new features to make the agent more robust in heterogeneous Linux environments, including: 

• Support for new AWS C5 and M5 instances

• Support for installation on certain AWS EMR images

• Ability to handle registration timeout during agent installation

• Fixed issues related to install failures and incorrect configurations

• Fixed disk usage issue due to duplicate metric data 

• Improved user and group permissions for Linux agent directory
