mackerel-agent is a client software for Mackerel.
Mackerel is an online visualization and monitoring service for servers.
Once mackerel-agent is installed, it runs the following tasks on the installed host in foreground:
- register your hosts to Mackerel
- collect specs and metrics of those hosts and post them to Mackerel
Collected information will be visualized on Mackerel.
You have to create an organization on Mackerel at first.
After that, specify apikey value in mackerel-agent.conf with the following command.
% mackerel-agent init -apikey {{YOUR_APIKEY}}
