Hi,

We now support monitoring of Raspberry Pi servers. The same procedure for installing a Linux server agent can be followed. 

Please refer our help documentation to know how to install the agent. Let us know for any queries.

Happy Monitoring!

Is there any latest news of having in-premises poller run on Raspberry PI B+ Model (1GB)?

Thanks

Neeraj

Hi,
Please follow the following steps to install Site24x7 On-Premise Poller on a Raspberry Pi (or any ARM device).

1.Download the zip file from the links below depending on the platform

64-bit:   https://uploads.zohocorp.com/Internal_Useruploads/dnd/Site24x7/o_1d2csl2imnc31vh11ol9vvusdi1/Site24x7OnPremisePoller64.zip

32-bit:  https://uploads.zohocorp.com/Internal_Useruploads/dnd/Site24x7/o_1d2cspj6i15if1s9911b515oj1q5d1/Site24x7OnPremisePoller32.zip

2. Unzip the file under directory '/opt' in your target machine

3. A Directory named Site24x7OnPremisePoller should be available now

4. Go to /opt/Site24x7OnPremisePoller/conf

5. Edit/Update file 'install.txt' change the values as given below

S24X7KEY=[Site24x7 device key]

PROXY=[false/true - depends if proxy is needed]

PROXY_HOST=

PROXY_PORT=

PROXY_USER=

PROXY_PASS=

Note: if there is proxy to be configured (PROXY=true), then give appropriate values for PROXY_HOST, PROXY_PORT, PROXY_USER (proxy username), PROXY_PASS (proxy password)

6. After saving the file start the Site24x7OnPremisePoller agent

7. To start the agent go to product home directory /opt/Site24x7OnPremisePoller

8. Execute the script file using command 'sudo sh StartServer.sh &'

In case of successful installation, the Site24x7OnPremisePoller agent process should be up and running in the background right now.
In case of any issue feel free to contact support@site24x7.com, include any necessary information like screenshots, error logs along with the mail.Please zip and send the entire log folder as well.

Note: logs will be available under '/opt/Site24x7OnPremisePoller/logs'

Unfortunately, there seems to be a disconnect between the community postings and support. I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 4 to setup as an On-premise poller followed the instructions above, but it didnt work. I contacted support for assistance, and was told the on-prem poller is not supported on ARM architecture nor Raspberry Pi. This is a shame as it would make a nice inexpensive on-prem poller. If any one got this to work, i would interested to hear as i am stuck with a java error.

Hey there, 

  Can you post the java error that occurred? It would be useful for anyone who wants to troubleshoot it.

Sure, I have tried  Ubuntu 19 32bit/64 bit and Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 4, with different versions of java and no java install. This last attempt install openjdk 14. Have also attached the logs

See below error below

Hi,
There are no installable versions of the On-Premise Poller on the Raspberry Pi hardware. As an alternative, You can install the Server monitor and use custom plugins to monitor your resources.

Server monitoring : https://www.site24x7.com/help/server-metrics.html#add-a-server

Custom plugins : https://www.site24x7.com/help/admin/adding-a-monitor/plugins/custom-plugins.html  

Are there any updates on this? I see that the Raspberry Pi can have the Server Monitoring Agent now. So that's great.

But, can a Raspberry Pi (ARM processor) run the On-Premise Poller now in 2020?

We got a pi4 8GB to setup an on-premise poller and I struggled thru the setup on Kali, Raspian and Ubuntu. I thought I was making progress once figured out the Java error. Just needed to add the path to Java

sudo ./Site24x7OnPremisePoller_64bit.bin LAX_VM path/to/java

That got the GUI installer to open but after running thru the setup and attempting to kick off the script I still got the java exec error. 

I moved on to Windows on the pi and that seems to be working on 64 bit. 

Hi Tim,

We are yet to support OnPremise Poller for Raspberry Pi.

Just curious, is there a specific reason for using Pi, instead of Ubuntu or any other OS/machine for running On-Premise Poller?

Also, what are the resources (like website, port, etc) that you would like to monitor via OnPremise Poller running on Pi?

This will help us to understand your requirement better, so we can expedite Pi support for OnPremise Poller.

Regards,

Krishna.

Thank you for updating and stating the poller is not supported on the Raspberry Pi Platform. I also tried Ubuntu on the Pi with no success. Must be the ARM architecture.

The poller on Pi would fit well with our business model. We would need to monitor Firewall, Switches, AP’s, and VoIP equipment via SNMP. Since there are no PC’s or Servers we would need to provide the hardware to run the on premise poller. That would get expensive using x86/64 processors.

The Pi is inexpensive, has a tiny foot print and can easily be replaced or recovered with a swap of an SD card.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for sharing your requirements in detail. We'll work on this and keep you posted.

Regards,

Krishna.

Hi,

is the poller for ARM Processors ready to use?

We have many branch offices and customers where we have to monitor components with a poller. So it is necessary to send a cheap box with a poller ready installed to the locations. It is not allowed or possible to install a poller on existing hardware.

A RasPi is a small and smart solution for this scenario.

Do you already have a running poller version which is running on RasPi 4 8GB with 64-bit Ubuntu? (if another LINUX distribution is necessary we can also install it)

Regards

Till

I gaot the following error on installing the Poller on RasPi 4:

Java is installed like you can see. Is there another binary to install on RasPi 4?

I am stuck at the same spot.  Hopefully someone will chime in with an answer.
