Build Management Agent deployment configurations with plugins, log collection, and install key settings.

compartmentIddisplayNameagentConfig.platformagentConfig.pluginsOutput will appear here...The builder constructs Management Agent configuration files: agent installation script (per OS: Linux RPM/DEB, Windows MSI), agent registration with OCI tenancy, plugin selection (logging-collector, stack-monitoring-mgmt-agent, os-mgmt, db-mgmt, vsf), service-specific plugin configuration, and proxy settings if needed. Output is generated as installation scripts plus Terraform oci_management_agent_management_agent_install_key for per-fleet install keys.
Build Management Agent deployment configurations with plugins and log collection settings. This tool helps OCI engineers generate valid configurations quickly without consulting documentation, reducing errors and accelerating infrastructure deployment. All processing runs in your browser with no data sent to external servers.
Your team has 100 on-prem and OCI VMs running databases that need centralized monitoring. The builder generates: Management Agent installation script bundling logging + database management + stack monitoring plugins, automated rollout via Ansible across the fleet, fleet-level install key for consistent registration. Within 1 week, all 100 VMs are sending logs to OCI Logging, metrics to Monitoring, and database performance data to Operations Insights. Centralized observability previously requiring multiple tools (Prometheus, ELK, custom DB monitoring) is now consolidated in OCI.
Management Agent is OCI's unified agent that powers multiple monitoring services — Logging, Stack Monitoring, OS Management, Database Management. Install once on each VM/server, enable specific plugins for the services you need. Don't run separate agents for each service; consolidate via Management Agent.
Plugins consume resources — only enable what you actually use. The 'install everything' approach can add 200-500 MB of agent memory overhead per VM. For fleet-wide deployment, this matters at scale (100 VMs × 300 MB = 30 GB total agent memory).
For on-premises and other-cloud servers (Arc-style hybrid management), Management Agent is the entry point — install it on remote servers to bring them into OCI's management plane. Combined with Service Connector Hub, hybrid logs and metrics flow into OCI.
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser and generates configuration JSON that you can copy and paste into your infrastructure-as-code templates, CLI commands, or cloud console. It never connects to any cloud account or sends data externally.
The tool produces syntactically valid configurations based on current OCI service specifications. Always review generated configs against your organization security policies and test in a non-production environment before deploying.
