Capabilities

Full detection on DigitalOcean

Pre-Installed Agent

The DigitalOcean 1-Click App ships with ftagent already installed and configured as a systemd service. Deploy the image, provide your credentials via user-data, and detection starts on first boot.

Auto-Setup via User-Data

Pass your API key and node UUID through DigitalOcean's user-data field when creating a Droplet. The agent reads these on boot and configures itself automatically.

Systemd Service

ftagent runs as a systemd service with automatic restart on failure. It starts on boot, survives reboots, and logs to journalctl for easy troubleshooting.

Host Network Monitoring

ftagent reads /proc/net/dev on the Droplet and monitors all traffic on the primary interface. Works on Basic, Premium, and dedicated CPU Droplets.

Protect your DigitalOcean infrastructure

Deploy from the DigitalOcean Marketplace or install manually. DDoS detection running in under 5 minutes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I deploy ftagent on DigitalOcean?

Two options: use the Flowtriq 1-Click App from the DigitalOcean Marketplace, or create any Ubuntu Droplet and install ftagent with pip install ftagent && sudo ftagent --setup. Both methods give you the same agent with identical capabilities.

Does the 1-Click App auto-configure ftagent?

The 1-Click App has ftagent pre-installed and running as a systemd service. On first boot, pass your API key and node UUID via DigitalOcean user-data and the agent configures itself automatically. No SSH required for initial setup.

Can ftagent deploy firewall rules on Droplets?

Yes. ftagent deploys iptables and nftables rules directly on the Droplet. This works alongside DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls. The agent manages host-level rules for immediate mitigation while cloud firewalls provide perimeter filtering.

Does ftagent work on DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS)?

Yes. Deploy ftagent as a DaemonSet on your DOKS cluster. Each node gets a monitoring pod with host network access. See the Docker/Kubernetes integration page for DaemonSet configuration details.
