Download the MiNiFi C++ agent image

Learn how to deploy the MiNiFi C++ agent in a container. To do so, you need to retrieve the container image.

Deploying the MiNiFi C++ agent in a container is a very common use case, especially when deploying applications on Kubernetes. In such a situation, you may want to deploy the agent as a sidecar pod to collect logs, metrics, and so on. Having the agent registered to EFM is very powerful as you can change the data being collected and processed by the agent in the pods while the application is up and running.

If using Docker, you can retrieve the container image by the following command:

 % docker login -u *** -p *** container.repo.cloudera.com
  Login Succeeded

You can then retrieve the latest version of the container using:

 % docker pull container.repo.cloudera.com/cloudera/apacheminificpp:latest
