Credit to Brandon McEarchern who helped significantly. The main issue with installing the collector on a Raspberry Pi is it’s the ARM architecture. Method 1 Install Java Package complied for ARM architecture. Some functions such as ping & Netflow will not work using this method. SNMP, Scripting, ESX, JDBC, JMX will function normally. Instructions: 1) I used PiDora 25 Beta server build currently available from https://fedoramagazine.org/raspberry-pi-support-fedora-25-beta/ Note Older version of Pidora available from NOOBS is designed for the Raspberry Pi 2 and I had issues installing on a Raspberry Pi 3b 2) Once Pidore is set up you may need to install Perl core. This can be down with the command sudo dnf install perl-core 3) Install the Java environment for Fedora with the command su -c "dnf install java-1.?.0-openjdk" More information on Java Environment for Fedora can be found here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java/FAQ?rd=JavaFAQ 4) Next download the collector. Use the 64 bit Linux version. Once downloaded add execution rights with the command sudo chmod +x LogicMonitorSetup32_1.bin 5) Run the installer with the command ./LogicMonitorSetup32_1.bin The install will unpack the Java Packages to /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java and then attempt to run configure.pl which will test for 32/64 java and fail with an error message "Wrong bit version of installer? Please re-download the installer matches your OS bit version!". 6) Rename the LogicMonitor Java Packages. I used the command sudo mv /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java_original 7) Link the Fedora Java Package to the original location for LogicMonitor using the command sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java 8) Re-run the configure.pl scritp with the command /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/configure.pl The script should install and configure the collector successfully this time. Verify the connection from the LogicMonitor Portal as normal and the Raspberry Pi should show as running after a few minutes. 9) Enable Java ping to override the Proxy in the Collector Configurations. Method 2 Use Exagear 32bit emulation. Exagear is 32bit emulation application for running x86 programs on ARM based computers and is available for around $30 USD. Ping and other features will function using this method as opposed to Method 1, but performance is severally degraded due to the limit resources of a Raspberry Pi. https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/exagear-desktop-features-and-prices/ This is the equvilent of running the collector in a virtual machine. installing the collector on top of Exagear is fairly straight forward. Instructions to install $ cd ~/Downloads/ Download the archive with ExaGear Desktop packages: $ wget http://downloads.eltechs.com/exagear-desktop-v-1-5/exagear-desktop-rpi3.tar.gz Unpack downloaded archive: $ tar -xvzpf exagear-desktop-rpi3.tar.gz Install and activate ExaGear Desktop by running install-exagear.sh specifying a guest OS image in a directory with deb packages and one license key. The install command for ubuntu is sudo ./install-exagear.sh ubuntu-1404 Install the LogicMonitor 32bit collector https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/getting-started/i-just-signed-up-for-logicmonitor-now-what/3-adding-collectors/
