Sysdig agents are simple to deploy and upgrade, and out of the box, they will gather and report on a wide variety of pre-defined metrics. Agent installation can be as simple as copying and pasting a few lines of code from a Wizard prompt, or you can follow step-by-step instructions to check supported environments and distributions, review installation options, and customize the agent configuration file post-install.
