mackerel-agent
===============

![agent-si](docs/images/agent-si.png "mackerel-agent")

`mackerel-agent` is a client software for [Mackerel](https://mackerel.io/).
[Mackerel](https://mackerel.io/) is an online visualization and monitoring service for servers.

Once `mackerel-agent` is installed, it runs the following tasks on the installed host in foreground:
- register your hosts to Mackerel
- collect specs and metrics of those hosts and post them to Mackerel

Collected information will be visualized on [Mackerel](https://mackerel.io/).

PREREQUISITES
-------------

You have to create an organization on [Mackerel](https://mackerel.io/) at first.
After that, specify `apikey` value in `mackerel-agent.conf` with the following command.

```
% mackerel-agent init -apikey {{YOUR_APIKEY}}
```
