# Managing the Agent (Linux)

To view, start, stop, update, and uninstall the Agent, you must log in as user root.

#### Checking the Agent Status

Log in to an ECS or BMS as user root and run the following command to check the Agent status:

service telescoped status

The following message indicates that the Agent is running properly:

    "Active (running) or "Telescope process is running well."

#### Starting the Agent

/usr/local/telescope/telescoped start

#### Restarting the Agent

/usr/local/telescope/telescoped restart

#### Stopping the Agent

Log in to an ECS or BMS and run the following command to stop the Agent:

service telescoped stop

If the Agent installation fails, it may be impossible to stop the Agent normally. In this case, run the following command to stop the Agent:

/usr/local/telescope/telescoped stop

#### Uninstalling the Agent

Run the following command to uninstall the Agent:

/usr/local/telescope/uninstall.sh

You can manually uninstall the Agent. After the uninstallation, Cloud Eye does not collect the ECS or BMS monitoring data every one minute. To use the Agent again, reinstall it by referring to Installing and Configuring the Agent on a Linux ECS or BMS. Before reinstalling the Agent, manually delete the previous Agent installation package.
