The VordFleet agent is a lightweight process that runs on each host in your fleet. It collects system metrics, monitors security events, and reports health status back to the VordFleet dashboard.
Prerequisites
- A VordFleet account (the free tier works)
- A Linux host running Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, or RHEL 8+
- Root or sudo access on the target host
Installation
- Log in to the VordFleet dashboard and navigate to Settings > Fleet Token.
- Copy your fleet token.
- On your target host, run the install script:
curl -fsSL https://get.vordfleet.dev | sudo bash -s -- --token YOUR_TOKENThe agent installs as a systemd service and starts automatically. Your host should appear in the dashboard within 60 seconds.
Verifying the Installation
Check the agent status with:
sudo systemctl status vordfleet-agentYou should see active (running) in the output. If the agent is not running, check the logs:
sudo journalctl -u vordfleet-agent --no-pager -n 50Supported Platforms
