#### The Vantage Agent snap

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.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install vantage-agent

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](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
