Install the Java agent in Windows

  1. Download the agent installation package of the 64-bit version or 32-bit version based on the operating system type of the ECS instance.
  2. Create a directory named cloudmonitor in the C:\Program Files\Alibaba directory.
  3. Decompress the agent installation package to the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor directory.
  4. Run the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor\wrapper\bin\InstallApp-NT.bat file as an administrator to install the agent.
  5. Run the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor\wrapper\bin\StartApp-NT.bat file as an administrator to start the agent.
  6. After you install the agent, view, start, or stop the Cloud Monitor Application service in Windows Services Manager.
Note If your ECS instance cannot access the Internet, you can download the agent installation package by using an internal URL. For example, you can download the agent installation package of the 64-bit version in the China (Qingdao) region by using this internal URL. 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 the two occurrences of windows64 with windows32 to download the 32-bit version.
  • Replace the two occurrences of 1.3.7 with the required version number to download the agent of another version.

Uninstall the Java agent in Windows

  1. Stop the Cloud Monitor Application service in Windows Services Manager.
  2. Run the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor\wrapper\bin\UninstallApp-NT.bat file to uninstall the agent.
  3. Delete the C:\Program Files\Alibaba\cloudmonitor directory.

Security configuration instructions

The following table describes the IP addresses and ports that the Cloud Monitor agent uses to interact with Cloud Monitor servers. If the ports are disabled by security software, the Cloud Monitor agent fails to report monitoring data to Cloud Monitor. 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 Cloud Monitor may change the IP addresses that it uses to provide services in the future versions. However, all the IP addresses will reside in the 100.100 CIDR block, which is the reserved internal CIDR block that Alibaba Cloud uses to provide services. Therefore, you can allow outbound traffic to the 100.100 CIDR block for your ECS instance. This simplifies the whitelist configuration.
