          input_queue: "metrics"
          output_queue:
            name: "metrics_requests"
            label:
              tag: "metrics"

          queues:
            type: indexing_merge
          when:
            cluster_available: [ "default" ]

agent:
  major_ip_pattern: "192.*"
  labels:
    env: dev
  tags:
    - linux
    - x86
    - es7
    - v7.5

path.data: data
path.logs: log

agent.manager.endpoint: http://192.168.3.4:9000

Note: In the above configuration, replace the Elasticsearch configuration with the actual server connection address and authentication information.

Starting #

Run the following command:

docker run -p 8080:8080  -v=`pwd`/agent.yml:/agent.yml  dockerproxy.com/infinilabs/agent:latest

Docker Compose #

You can also use docker compose to manage container instances. Create one docker-compose.yml file as follows:

version: "3.5"

services:
  infini-agent:
    image: infinilabs/agent:latest
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    container_name: "infini-agent"
    volumes:
      - ./agent.yml:/agent.yml

volumes:
  dist:

Run the following command to start INFINI Agent.
