A note about the keyboard layout

The default installation loads the US keyboard layout. To change the layout for another region, issue use the loadkeys command before starting this procedure . Use and enter the region code for your region.

In this example, we are loading the Spanish keyboard layout (es).:

sudo loadkeys es

Note

Important: Java versions

Please note that the devo-ng-relay and the CLI require Java 17 to work. Other Java versions are not supported. The devo-ng-relay package includes this required Java version (Java 8) so please consider uninstalling any other version you may have, or use the Linux command update-alternatives to make Java 17 the default Java.

Create a new adoptium.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following content:

Code Block
[Adoptium]
name=Adoptium
baseurl=https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/rpm/centos/7/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public
Note

This step is only required for CentOS 7 and RHEL 7.

Rw step

Install the relay package and the relay command-line interface (CLI) using this command:

Code Block
sudo yum install devo-ng-relay
Rw step

Optionally, you can install thedevo-monitorpackage that installs scripts that to monitor machine status (CPU, memory, IO traffic) so their values can be sent to the Devo endpoint. The events collected by this package will be available in the box.stat.unix.* tables of your Devo domain. You can install this package using the following commands: 

Code Block
sudo yum install initscripts
Note
Since RHEL 9,
initscripts
is not installed by default, and it is required to run devo-monitor.

and then:

Code Block
sudo yum install devo-monitor
Note

It is highly recommended to install the devo-monitor package on your machine since it will help in case you need troubleshooting to troubleshoot your relay.

Rw step

Now you must configure your relay and then activate it on the Devo platform. See the Devo Relay setup process here.

Info

You can relaunch the set up process at any time after the installation if needed.
