The Vantage Agent Snap deploys the Vantage Agent Python package on your host system. This agent is an essencial component of the Vantage platform for managing and monitoring HPC clusters.
This snap requires a few configuration values to be set before it can be used. These values are:
base-api-url: The URL of the Vantage API server where the agent will send its data. Setting/unsetting this value is more interesting when using the snap in a development environment; do not change it otherwise.
oidc-domain: The domain of the OIDC server that the agent will use for authentication. Setting/unsetting this value is more interesting when using the snap in a development environment; do not change it otherwise.
oidc-client-id: The client ID of the OIDC application that the agent will use for authentication.
oidc-client-secret: The client secret of the OIDC application that the agent will use for authentication.
task-jobs-interval-seconds: The interval in seconds at which the agent will run its internal task jobs, hence sending data to the Vantage API server. This is optional and defaults to 30 seconds.
task-self-update-interval-seconds: The interval in seconds at which the agent will check for updates to itself. This is optional and defaults to 30 seconds.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install vantage-agent, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install vantage-agent --classic
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
