Install Devo Relay on an Ubuntu box

This article takes you step by step through the installation of Devo Relay on a machine running Ubuntu. We will install the most recent version of Devo Relay (v2.1.0) using a .deb package that resides in Devo public repository.

Before you begin

Make sure you can provide a machine with the requirements specified in this article.

Installing Devo Relay 

Follow these instructions to install the .deb package that contains the relay.

1. Import the Devo repository public key:

   wget -qO - http://packages.devo.com/PublicKey | sudo apt-key add - 

   echo "deb http://packages.devo.com/ bionic devo" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devo.list

2. Update the resources list.

   sudo apt-get update

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

   sudo apt-get install devo-ng-relay

4. Optionally, you can install the devo-monitor package that installs scripts that 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 command: 

   sudo apt install devo-monitor

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

5. Finally, you must configure your relay and then activate it on the Devo platform. See the Devo Relay setup process in Set up your relay.

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