Install OMC Data Collector To Harvest Oracle Enterprise Manager Target’s Metric Data

In order to make use of the data you already have in your Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) in Oracle’s Management Cloud (OMC) you need to install and configure the OMC’s Data Collector agent.
Here’s how you do it.
Login to OMC and navigate to Administration -> Agents -> Download
In the Agent Type box, select Data Collector.

Select the desired Operating System version. In my case is Linux 64 bit.

Once the agent is downloaded, take a note in the same OMC’s web page of the TENANT_ID and the UPLOAD_ROOT values.
Next login to the server hosting your OEM Repository database.
Create a directory in a place where you have enough space (3GB).
$ cd /u01/agent
$ mkdir omc
$ cd omc
Transfer the downloaded file to this new directory and unzip it.
$ ls
datacollector_linux.x64_1.23.0.zip
$ unzip datacollector_linux.x64_1.23.0.zip
Archive:  datacollector_linux.x64_1.23.0.zip
  inflating: unzip
  inflating: AgentDeployment.sh
  inflating: agentimage.properties
  inflating: agent.rsp
  inflating: agent_software_build.xml
 extracting: agentcoreimage.zip
  inflating: AgentInstall.sh
Modify the response file adding the required values. This step depends in whether you’re using a Gateway or a Proxy to connect to the OMC.
$ vi agent.rsp
All required values can be found here.
Now execute the installation.
$ ./AgentInstall.sh
Unzipping agent software, this may take some time…

The following configuration scripts need to be executed as the root user:
/bin/sh /u01/agent/omc/datacollector/core/1.23.0/root.sh
You now need to execute the configuration script as root.
Once this is executed, go and verify the Data Collector agent is up and running.
$ cd /u01/agent/omc/datacollector/agent_inst/bin
./omcli status agent
