SolarWinds MSP Integration

Installing SolarWinds MSP Linux Backup Agent

After setting up your SolarWinds backup server download and install the MSP Linux amd64/x64 backup agent. In this example we've downloaded it and placed the agent installer 'mxb-linux-x86_64.run' into the /swinds directory and made it executable using chmod.

root@smu-devtest44-136:/swinds# chmod 755 ./mxb-linux-x86_64.run
root@smu-devtest44-136:/swinds# ./mxb-linux-x86_64.run
