Ruby agent checksum validation

You can verify the authenticity of the downloaded Site24x7 agent with SHA256 checksum validation. This ensures that the downloaded agent is credible and is not tampered with by any malicious code or software.

To verify the authenticity of the agent:

  1. Download the checksum file here.
  2. Compare the checksum value provided in the downloaded file with the downloaded agent. Follow the steps below to validate the checksum value.
    • For Linux systems, execute the following command:
      sha256sum site24x7_apminsight.gem
    • For Windows, you can use either of the commands below.
      • Open Command Prompt and execute the following command:
        certutil -hashfile site24x7_apminsight.gem SHA256
      • Open Windows Powershell and execute the following command:
        Get-FileHash site24x7_apminsight.gem -Algorithm SHA256
  3. After executing the commands, you will obtain a checksum value; check that value with the one downloaded from the checksum file.
