• name: name of the machine on the network (unique)

• user: The user who registered the Agent to EazyDI

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Before installing the Secure Agent, ensure your system meets the following minimum hardware requirements:

For Windows:

• Operating System: Windows 10 or later (64-bit)

• Processor: Quad-core CPU (Intel or AMD) with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz or higher

• Memory: 16 GB RAM

• Disk Space: 50 GB of free disk space

• Network: High-speed internet connection

• Java: JDK 11 or later

For Linux:

• Operating System: CentOS 7 or later, Ubuntu 18.04 or later (64-bit)

• Processor: Quad-core CPU (Intel or AMD) with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz or higher

• Memory: 16 GB RAM

• Disk Space: 50 GB of free disk space

• Network: High-speed internet connection

• Java: JDK 11 or later

Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the Secure Agent on your system.

Prerequisites

(Python 3.9)

• Install python latest 3.9.x in the environment which is the current supported version for the secure agent using pyspark

  • Download Python for python

  • Managing Python — conda 25.1.2.dev41 documentation for conda

• set PYSPARK_PYTHON env to point to 3.9 python binary executable for pyspark or switch to the conda environment using the same version see Configuration - Spark 3.5.4 Documentation

(Install JDK)

For Windows:

1. Download JDK:

   • Download the latest JDK from the official Oracle or OpenJDK Website

2. Install JDK:

   • Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the JDK.

3. Set JAVA_HOME Environment Variable:

   • Open the Start menu and search for "Environment Variables".

   • Click on "Edit the system environment variables".

   • In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.

   • Under "System variables", click "New" and set the variable name to JAVA_HOME and the variable value to the JDK installation path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11).

   • Find the Path variable in the "System variables" section, select it, and click "Edit".

   • Click "New" and add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the list.

   • Click "OK" to close all dialogs.

For Linux:

1. Install JDK:

   • For Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions:

     sudo apt update sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

      

   • For CentOS/RHEL-based distributions:

     sudo yum install java-11-openjdk-devel

      

2. Set JAVA_HOME Environment Variable:

   • Open your .bashrc or .profile file in a text editor:

     nano ~/.bashrc

      

   • Add the following lines at the end of the file:

     Copy code

     export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

   • Save the file and reload it:

      

Downloading the Eazydi Agent

• Login to EazyDI Application and navigate to the Environments tab and click New Agent button

Open

• Click on Generate New Token and copy it, or optionally download the new token as a text file

Open

• Choose the platform and click Download Secure Agent to download the latest build of the Eazydi Agent

Setting up the Eazydi Agent

app.ini

The app.ini file is a critical configuration file for the Secure Agent, dictating how it connects to the cloud service. Below is a detailed breakdown of the sections and key parameters within the app.ini file

• base_socket_url

  • Description: The URL used by the Secure Agent to establish a connection with the EazyDi platform.

  • Purpose: This is a crucial setting that should not be altered. It specifies the endpoint for all communication between the agent and the cloud service.

• username

  • Description: The username associated with your EazyDi account.

  • Purpose: This parameter is used for authenticating the Agent with the EazyDi platform. It ensures that the agent operates under the correct user context.

  • Example: username=myusername@eazydi.com

• token

  • Description: The authentication token provided by EazyDi.

  • Purpose: This token is used in conjunction with the username to authenticate the Secure Agent. It is essential for secure and authorized access to the platform.

  • Example: token=320af1e1-5786-4779-bf20-1ecadb92c900

• spark_memory

  • Description: The amount of memory allocated to Apache Spark.

  • Purpose: This setting determines how much memory is available for Spark jobs executed by the Agent. Adequate memory allocation is crucial for performance, especially when handling large datasets. see Configuration - Spark 3.5.4 Documentation

  • Example: spark_memory=6g

• spark_master

  • Description: The Spark master URL.

  • Purpose: This specifies the master node for the Spark cluster. In a standalone or local mode, it indicates that Spark jobs should run on the local machine. see Submitting Applications - Spark 3.5.4 Documentation

  • Example: spark_master=local

• spark_cores

  • Description: The number of CPU cores allocated to Spark.

  • Purpose: This parameter sets the number of CPU cores available for Spark processing tasks. More cores can improve performance by allowing more parallel processing. see Configuration - Spark 3.5.4 Documentation

  • Example: spark_cores=2

For Windows

• Unzip the downloaded file and open app.ini

• Fill up username and token

• Double click on the eazydi agent.exe to run

• Notice in Environments Tab your machine will be registered and shows status as up

• Notice the agent receiving a message after registering the machine

Using the Eazydi Agent

• Create Connections which support the Eazydi Agent and assign the environment to your Agent

• In Creating Pipelines using the Eazydi Agent, the Source and Target connections should be the same environment

• Running Jobs make sure that the Agent is up and running. Notice the agent will receive requests for jobs in the logs

• Once Job is complete it will reflect in Eazydi’s Monitor → Archived Listings

For Linux

• Run the command to extract tar.gz file

• Update the app.ini using your preferred Linux editor

• Fill up username and token

• Run

• Notice in Environments Tab your machine will be registered and shows status as up

• Notice the agent receiving a message after registering the machine
