Connect NGINX instances to NGINX One Console

You can add an instance to NGINX One Console in the following ways:

• Directly, under Instances
• Indirectly, by selecting a Config Sync Group, and selecting Add Instance to Config Sync Group

In either case, NGINX One Console gives you a choice for data plane keys:

• Create a new key
• Use an existing key

NGINX One Console takes the option you use, and adds the data plane key to a command that you’d use to register your target instance. You should see the command in the Add Instance screen in the console.

Connect to the host where your NGINX instance is running. Run the provided command to install NGINX Agent dependencies and packages on that host.

curl https://agent.connect.nginx.com/nginx-agent/install | DATA_PLANE_KEY="<data_plane_key>" sh -s -- -y

curl https://agent.connect.nginx.com/nginx-agent/install | DATA_PLANE_KEY="<data_plane_key>" sh -s -- -y

Once the process is complete, you can configure that instance in your NGINX One Console.
