I’m trying to install Monitoring Client on an Ubuntu server.

root@li605-231:~# dpkg --debug=10 -i MonitoringClient.deb
D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting ‘/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci’
dpkg-deb: error: `MonitoringClient.deb’ is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing archive MonitoringClient.deb (–install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting ‘/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci’
D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting ‘/var/lib/dpkg/reassemble.deb’
Errors were encountered while processing:
MonitoringClient.deb

Ideas?

Since this post, the Linux agent has been updated, and instructions are posted in your Watchman Monitoring Server’s Dashboard.

Look under Installers -> Linux

A general note:
Installation URLs are specific do your subdomain, when following any example, be sure not to use our demo URL, or the computer record will not show up on your Dashboard.
