macOS Installation

Installing

The agent may be installed through a shell script.

This script may also be used to update an existing installation.

To install using the installation script, you may run:

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_macos.sh)" install_macos.sh

Installation artifacts are signed. Information on verifying the signature can be found at Verifying Artifact Signatures.

Managed Mode

To install the agent with an OpAMP connection configuration set the following flags.

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_macos.sh)" install_macos.sh -e <your_endpoint> -s <secret-key>

To read more about the generated connection configuration file see OpAMP docs.

Configuring the Agent

After installing the observiq-otel-collector you can change the configuration file printed out at the end of the installation.

The default configuration file can be found at /opt/observiq-otel-collector/config.yaml.

After changing the configuration file run sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.observiq.collector.plist; sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.observiq.collector.plist for the changes to take effect.

For more information on configuring the agent, see the OpenTelemetry docs.

Logging

Logs from the agent will appear in /opt/observiq-otel-collector/log. You may run sudo tail -F /opt/observiq-otel-collector/log/collector.log to view them.

Stderr for the agent process can be found at /var/log/observiq_collector.err.

Agent Services Commands

The agent uses launchctl to control the agent lifecycle using the following commands.

# Start the agent
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.observiq.collector.plist

# Stop the agent
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.observiq.collector.plist

Uninstalling

To uninstall an installation made with the install script, run:

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_macos.sh)" install_macos.sh -r
