Install by DEB Package (Debian/Ubuntu)

Installing td-agent

  1. Install from Apt Repository.
note
  • If your OS is not supported, consider gem installation instead.
  • Treasure Data does not verify Debian packages. If you have any problem with Debian packages, send a patch to fluent-package-builder repository.

A shell script is provided to automate the installation process for each version. The shell script registers a new apt repository at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/treasure-data.list and installs the td-agent deb package.

# td-agent 4 (experimental)
curl -fsSL https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-ubuntu-jammy-td-agent4.sh | sh

For non systemd-based system, use /etc/init.d/td-agent script to start, stop, or restart the agent:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/td-agent restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/td-agent status

The following commands are supported:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/td-agent start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/td-agent stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/td-agent restart

You can post sample log records with curl command:

$ curl -X POST -d 'json={"json":"message"}' http://localhost:8888/debug.test
$ tail -n 1 /var/log/td-agent/td-agent.log
