Installing CVM Agent

To use Tencent Cloud Cloud Monitoring (CM) to view the metric data of Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) instances and generate alarms, you need to properly install Agent on Tencent Cloud CVM instances, which will be used to collect the metric data of instances.

• To properly report monitoring data, you need to open TCP dport 80 on your CVM.
• You must log in to the CVM in order to run the command to acquire the Agent installer.
