When you execute the log collection agent installation command, the log collection agent download, installation, preferences, agent execution, and data collection start automatically.

The following describes how to install a log collection agent:

1. Access the server you want to collect logs from.
   • Installation requires root permissions, so you need to work with a root account or an account with the sudo permission.
   • For more information about accessing servers, see either Server Access (VPC) or Server Access (Classic).
2. Execute the log collection agent installation command you identified in step 7 of the 1. Log Collection Settings in Console.
