Note
  • The binary file of the CloudMonitor agent for Go is named in the following format: CmsGoAgent.linux-${ARCH}. The value of the ARCH parameter can be amd64 or i386. This value depends on the Linux system architecture.
  • We recommend that you use the latest version of the agent. You can find the latest version number on the Host Monitoring page in the CloudMonitor console.

Install the CloudMonitor agent for Go in Windows

  1. Download the agent installation program of the 64-bit version or 32-bit version based on the operating system type of the ECS instance. Copy the installation program to the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor directory.
    Note You can also download the agent installation program by using an internal URL. For example, the internal URL for downloading the agent installation program of the 64-bit version in the China (Qingdao) region is http://cms-agent-cn-qingdao.oss-cn-qingdao-internal.aliyuncs.com/cms-go-agent/2.1.55/CmsGoAgent.windows-AMD64.exe. You can customize the URL as required in the following way:
    • Replace the two occurrences of cn-qingdao with the ID of the region where the ECS instance resides.
    • Replace AMD64 with i386 to download the 32-bit version.
    • Replace 2.1.55 with the required version number to download the agent of another version.
  2. Open a command prompt window as an administrator.
  3. Run the following commands:
    cd"C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor"
    CmsGoAgent.windows-amd64.exe install
    CmsGoAgent.windows-amd64.exe start
  4. After the agent is installed, view, start, or stop the argusagent service in Windows Services Manager.

Uninstall the CloudMonitor agent for Go in Windows

  1. Open a command prompt window as an administrator.
  2. Run the following commands:
    cd"C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor"
    CmsGoAgent.windows-amd64.exe stop
    CmsGoAgent.windows-amd64.exe uninstall
  3. Close the command prompt window.
  4. Delete the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor directory.

Security configuration instructions

The following table lists the IP addresses and ports that the CloudMonitor agent uses to interact with CloudMonitor servers. If the ports are disabled by security software, the CloudMonitor agent fails to report monitoring data to CloudMonitor. If you use a whitelist to limit the IP addresses that your ECS instance can access, we recommend that you add the IP addresses described in the following table to the whitelist.

Note
  • CloudMonitor may change the IP addresses that it uses to provide services in the future versions. However, all the IP addresses will reside in the 100.0.0.0/8 CIDR block, which is the reserved internal CIDR block that Alibaba Cloud uses to provide services. Therefore, you can allow outbound traffic to the 100.0.0.0/8 CIDR block for your ECS instance. This simplifies the whitelist configuration.
  • The IP addresses in brackets [] are optional. They are used as backup IP addresses when the network is unstable.
