- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)Downloads an installation script for a Monitoring Point for a given Network Monitoring Provider.The command downloads a tarball for
--monitoring-point-type=containeror--monitoring-point-type=helm, or a zip file for--monitoring-point-type=kvmor--monitoring-point-type=vmware.The
--network-monitoring-provider,--location,--monitoring-point-type, and--hostnamearguments are required for all Monitoring Points. Additional arguments depend on the value of--monitoring-point-type.If
--monitoring-point-type=containeror--monitoring-point-type=helmis specified, no other flags are required, and flags like--password,--time-zone,--use-dhcp, and--static-ip-addressare not allowed.If
--monitoring-point-type=kvmor--monitoring-point-type=vmwareis specified,--passwordand--time-zoneare also required. You must also specify either--use-dhcpfor DHCP configurations or--static-ip-addressfor static IP configurations. If using--static-ip-address,--gateway-addressand--dns-server-addressare also required. - EXAMPLES
