Download and Installation

Downloading and Installing the Collector

The following are the prerequisites for the HTTPS Collector:

1. TLS settings should be enabled.

2. The server should be accessible by Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

3. TLS certificate for the FQDN of the server where the collector is installed must be provided in config.yaml (See below)

Download the Sealights Collector Image

The Sealights Collector can be found at the following DockerHub link: https://hub.docker.com/r/sealights/on-prem-collector

docker pull sealights/on-prem-collector

Create your own Collector Image

1. Download the Collector Binaries and Unzip :

wget -nv https://agents.sealights.co/collector/0.42.0/collector.zip
unzip -oq collector.zip

#curl tool can also be used
#curl -L "https://agents.sealights.co/collector/0.42.0/collector.zip" --output collector.zip

If you have a limitation accessing the endpoint agents.sealights.co and are limited to your specific server DNS, then you can also get the agent from https://{company}.sealights.co/collector/{version}/collector.zip

Replace {company} with your company DNS prefix and {version} with the specific version you want to use.

1. Create a Dockerfile:

FROM alpine:latest
WORKDIR /collector
COPY collector collector
CMD ["./collector","serve"]

1. Build the Image :

docker build -t sealights/on-prem-collector .

Setting up the HTTPS Collector

The following is a sample configuration that can be used to run the HTTPS Collector using Docker:

1. Create a file called config.yaml with the following content

tls:
  enabled: true
  certFile: "/collector/<certFileName>"
  keyFile: "/collector/<certKeyFileName>"
collectors:
  - name: collector
    type: http
    properties:
      port: 16500
      serverUrl: https://<customerId>.sealights.co
      proxyUrl: <httpsProxyUrl>
      logLevel: debug
      insecureSkipVerify: true
    target:
      name: http
      type: http
      properties:
        token: <sealightsAgentToken>
        serverUrl: https://<customerId>.sealights.co/api
        proxyUrl: <httpsProxyUrl>
        logLevel: debug
        insecureSkipVerify: true

1. Run the Collector using Docker:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/collector/config.yaml -v $(pwd)/<certFileName>:/collector/<certFileName> -v $(pwd)/<certKeyFileName>:/collector/<certKeyFileName> -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 -p 16500:16500 sealights/on-prem-collector:latest

• Open https://<ServerFQDN>:16500 in your browser and if everything worked as expected you should be redirected to your Sealights Dashboard.

• You should see the Collector entry in the Cockpit > Live Agents Monitor

Enabling Proxy functionality (Optional)

When the collector needs to serve other agents' functionalities like config and scan commands (besides coverage collection), you must enable its proxy service according to the additional settings below. Please notice the port must be different from the collector service. For example below, port 16501 for proxy versus port 16500 for collector.

tls:
[...]
collectors:
[...]
proxy:
  port: 16501
  logLevel: info
