Introduction

By default, the playbooks for deploying Sysdig are commented out in site.yml and must be explicitly enabled in that file if you want it included in the initial deployment. Alternatively, you can run the specific playbooks detailed in this section in a stand-alone manner, subsequent to the initial deployment.

Note:

By default, you must have outgoing port 6666 open in your firewall, to allow data to flow to collector.sysdigcloud.com. You can configure the agent to use a different port using the variable sysdig_collector_port in group_vars/vars.

For more information, see the relevant Sysdig documentation at https://support.sysdig.com/hc/en-us/articles/204205969.

If you are using a proxy, it must be configured to be "fully-transparent". Non-transparent proxies will not allow the agent to connect.
