Agents

Intro

The Monitoring Agent resides on the host server being monitored. The agent allows you to gather on-host metrics based on agent checks and push them to Cloud Monitoring where you can analyze them, use them with the Cloud Monitoring infrastructure (such as alarms), and archive them.

For more information about this feature, including a brief overview of its core design principles and security layers, see the official API documentation.

Setup

$agentId = '00-agent.example.com';
$agent   = $service->getAgent($agentId);

You can view the service page for more information about setting up the Cloud Monitoring service.

List agents

$agents = $service->getAgents();

foreach ($agents as $agent) {
   echo $agent->getLastConnected();
}

Please consult the iterator doc for more information about iterators.

List connections

$connections = $agent->getConnections();

Please consult the iterator doc for more information about iterators.

Get connection

/** @var \OpenCloud\CloudMonitoring\Resource\AgentConnection */
$connection = $agent->getConnection('cntl4qsIbA');

Agent Connection properties

Name	Description	Type	Method
id			getId()
guid			getGuid()
agent_id			getAgentId()
endpoint			getEndpoint()
process_version			getProcessVersion()
bundle_version			getBundleVersion()
agent_ip			getAgentIp()

Agent tokens

Intro

Agent tokens are used to authenticate Monitoring agents to the Monitoring Service. Multiple agents can share a single token.

Setup

$tokenId = '4c5e28f0-0b3f-11e1-860d-c55c4705a286:1234';
$agentToken = $service->getAgentToken($tokenId);

Create agent token

$newToken = $service->getAgentToken();
$newToken->create(array('label' => 'Foobar'));

List agent tokens

$agentTokens = $service->getAgentTokens();

foreach ($agentTokens as $token) {
    echo $token->getLabel();
}

Please consult the iterator doc for more information about iterators.

Update and delete Agent Token

// Update
$token->update(array(
    'label' => 'New label'
));

// Delete
$token->delete();

Agent Host Information

Info

An agent can gather host information, such as process lists, network configuration, and memory usage, on demand. You can use the host-information API requests to gather this information for use in dashboards or other utilities.

Setup

$host = $monitoringService->getAgentHost();

Get some metrics

$cpuInfo        = $host->info('cpus');
$diskInfo       = $host->info('disks');
$filesystemInfo = $host->info('filesystems');
$memoryInfo     = $host->info('memory');
$networkIntInfo = $host->info('network_interfaces');
$processesInfo  = $host->info('processes');
$systemInfo     = $host->info('system');
$userInfo       = $host->info('who');

// What CPU models do we have?
foreach ($cpuInfo as $cpuMetric) {
    echo $cpuMetric->model, PHP_EOL;
}

// How many disks do we have?
echo $diskInfo->count();

// What's the available space on our ext4 filesystem?
foreach ($filesystemInfo as $filesystemMetric) {
    if ($filesystemMetric->sys_type_name == 'ext4') {
        echo $filesystemMetric->avail;
    }
}

Agent targets

Info

Each agent check type gathers data for a related set of target devices on the server where the agent is installed. For example, agent.network gathers data for network devices. The actual list of target devices is specific to the configuration of the host server. By focusing on specific targets, you can efficiently narrow the metric data that the agent gathers.

List agent targets

$targets = $service->getAgentTargets();

foreach ($targets as $target) {
    echo $target->getType();
}
