Checking an Agent's Health Status - Unix/Linx

This topic describes how to check an installed Agent's registration and health status for Unix/Linux systems.

To check an installed Agent's registration and health status

Run the command:
/opt/observeit/agent/bin/oitcheck
The results should look like this (on a CentOS Linux-based supported platform):
Detected platform: Linux - "CentOS release 5.9 (Final)"
Check for oit package: PASS
oit-5.8.0.162-1
Check for obitd service: PASS
STATUS: obitd (pid 11990 11987 11982) is running...
Check that obitd daemon running: PASS
Check for /opt/observeit/agent/run directory: PASS
Check for /opt/observeit/agent/conf/obit.conf: PASS
HostURL: http://10.3.0.72:4884/ObserveITapplicationserver
WebConsoleURL: http://10.3.0.72:4884/ObserveIT
Checking for registration by remote app server: PASS
Checking for Obit basic interception linkage: PASS
Checking SELinux status:
STATUS: disabled
If all the checks passed successfully, you may begin using the ObserveIT Agent. All the remote user actions, such as, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and so on, local console, and X-Console sessions, will now be recorded.

To begin recording user actions that are performed on the monitored servers

Close the current session (which was used to perform the Agent installation, if it is still open).
Open a new SSH session to the monitored server.
