Deploy PDC agent on a private network and test connection

In the final step of your journey, you run a command provided by Grafana Cloud that deploys PDC agent.

To deploy PDC agent on a private network, complete the following steps:

  1. On the machine that contains the PDC agent binary files, navigate to the binary files directory.

    For example: cd pdc-agent_Linux_arm64/pdc

  2. In Grafana Cloud, copy the command in the Run this binary field.

    Example install PDC agent binary command

  3. In your server terminal, run the command you copied.

    You should receive a success message similar to the following:

    Example PDC agent binary success message

  4. In Grafana Cloud, click Test agent connection.

    You should receive an Agent connected message.

    Example PDC agent connected message

You can now install a data source plugin.
