 Description   

Consider replacing the existing pages on this page, with a set of instructions based on OS.

https://mms.mongodb.com/help/monitoring/tutorial/set-up-mms/

I.e.

  • Installing the Monitoring Agent on Debian or Ubuntu
  • Installing the Monitoring Agent on RHEL/Centos/Amazon Linux
  • Installing the Monitoring Agent on Windows
  • Deploying the Monitoring Agent in Production
  • Automatically Updating the Monitoring Agent
  • Additional Considerations for Python 2.4

Make each page as brief as possible.

For example, for Debian/Ubuntu, we really only need:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev pip
sudo pip uninstall pymongo
sudo pip install pymongo
cd mms-agent
nohup python agent.py > /LOG_DIRECTOYR/agent.log 2>&1 &

I would rather 1% of the time the instructions not work and 1% of the time the user comes out of this with Pymongo without C extensions, then 100% of the time have instructions that are very complicated.
