Improvements to mackerel-agent’s installation guide page
In registering the API key, instead of using sed, a change to mackerel-agent init has been made. As a result, duplicate registration will no longer take place, even if you happen to run the command multiple times.
Additionally, for those of you who wish to use this feature, for example when constructing your server, please be aware that mackerel-agent init is a feature for versions 0.30.0 and later.
Notice regarding the AWS Integration
A large number of you have started to use the AWS Integration which was released last week. However, we would like to inform you about the current specification following multiple customer inquiries.
Currently the hosts corresponding to the account registered with the access key, the specified region, and the AWS cloud product (ELB or RDS) will all automatically be registered. Registering or excluding certain ELB/ RDS hosts cannot be done.
We have received a large number of requests concerning registering specific AWS cloud products as hosts and we will address this more in future releases, so please bear with us for a short while.
For more information about this specification, please refer to the help page.
