The Librato Agent is a flexible, easy-to-use, and powerful agent for monitoring your Linux-based servers. Everything from CPU utilization to disk write operations to network traffic is collected and sent to Librato in real time.

The Librato Agent runs natively on all major Linux-based operating systems with the same simple configuration. Whether you’re running Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, RHEL, or Amazon Linux, the Librato Agent will make monitoring your servers a breeze.

Under the hood, the Librato Agent leverages collectd, a best-in-class open-source monitoring tool, but we didn’t just stop there. In our quest for turn-key integration, we’ve made some modifications to make everything as smooth as can be, and we’ve succeeded: in only a couple minutes, the Librato Agent will configure itself and be sending metrics to Librato for your server.

Want to write your own custom monitoring plugins? No problem! Using collectd’s plugin API, writing your own plugins is straightforward, with the new plugin metrics automatically reporting into Librato.

Ready to get started? Just enable the Librato Agent integration, follow the short instructions, and you’ll have your metrics in just minutes.
