7.3. Enabling clients to send monitoring data

Define the following parameters to the kernel boot options of the clients:

Usually you need to define the parameters in /etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg. This works both if you are installing via network boot or by an autoinstall boot media (CD, USB disk, etc.). For example a monitoring-enabled configuration can be the following:

LABEL systemimager
KERNEL kernel
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram MONITOR_SERVER=192.168.1.1 MONITOR_CONSOLE=yes
    

Remember to re-run si_mkclientnetboot (for PXE booting), si_mkautoinstallcd (for autoinstall CD booting) or si_mkautoinstalldisk (for autoinstall USB drive booting) to rebuild the configuration files or boot media to accept the new parameters defined above.
