Install the Agent as a Service on Linux

Once communication between the agent and the CertGuardian platform has been verified, the agent can be installed as a system service.

Requirements

Before proceeding, ensure that the server meets the following requirements:

Open a terminal in the directory where the agent is located and run:

bash

./certguardian-agent install

Once installed, start the service:

bash

./certguardian-agent start

To verify that the service is running, execute:

bash

systemctl status cert-guardian-agent

The service should appear with a status similar to:

text

Active: active (running)

You can view the service logs by running:

bash

journalctl -u cert-guardian-agent -f

This command will display the agent activity in real time.

TIP

It is recommended to verify agent communication with the CertGuardian platform before installing it as a service.
