Unattended installation of the Linux agent can be done using puppet by performing the below mentioned steps:
Supporting platforms: All Linux platforms with Glibc version 2.5 and above, including Centos, Debian, Fedora, Redhat, Suse, Ubuntu
Params:
- $site24x7agent_APIkey = Your API Key is available under the Site24x7 Add Server Monitor page
- Log In and navigate to Home > New Monitor > Server Monitor > Linux
- Site24x7 API key is unique for your account. Alternate API Key can also be generated from your Site24x7 account under Account > Generate API Key

Example: user:password@proxyhost:proxyport
After selection of monitor type and setting up proxy settings(if required), follow the below steps:
- Download the Site24x7 module into your puppet modules directory: (the module directory name must be site24x7) https://github.com/site24x7/puppet-site24x7
- Set your apikey as described in the Params section. Edit 'site24x7/manifests/params.pp'
- Set '$site24x7agent_APIkey' with your unique Site24x7 API Key
For eg: $site24x7agent_APIkey='06bb765a221c269ba0f9a1ebc22ad259'
- Set proxy attribute if necessary
For eg: $site24x7agent_proxy= "user:password@proxyhost:proxyport"
- View your servers from your Site24x7 account
This will ensure automatic installation of the agent in your server.
