Quick Start

Deploy in minutes

Manual Install on any Linode
pip install ftagent sudo ftagent --setup
StackScript (automated provisioning)
#!/bin/bash # <UDF name="ft_api_key" label="Flowtriq API Key" /> # <UDF name="ft_node_uuid" label="Flowtriq Node UUID" /> pip install ftagent ftagent --set-key "$FT_API_KEY" ftagent --set-node "$FT_NODE_UUID" systemctl enable --now ftagent

The Linode Marketplace app has ftagent pre-installed. StackScript UDF fields let you pass your API key and node UUID at deploy time.

Capabilities

Full detection on Linode

Marketplace App

The Linode Marketplace app ships with ftagent pre-installed and configured as a systemd service. Deploy from the marketplace, provide your credentials, and detection starts on first boot.

StackScript Deployment

Use the Flowtriq StackScript to automate ftagent installation on new Linodes. UDF variables let you set your API key and node UUID at deploy time for fully automated provisioning.

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 Linode instance and monitors all traffic on the primary interface. Works on shared, dedicated, high memory, and GPU instances.

Protect your Linode infrastructure

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

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I deploy ftagent on Linode?

Three options: use the Flowtriq app from the Linode Marketplace, deploy via a StackScript for automated provisioning, or create any Linode instance and install ftagent with pip install ftagent && sudo ftagent --setup.

What is the StackScript deployment?

The Flowtriq StackScript automates ftagent installation on new Linode instances. It installs the agent, configures your API key and node UUID from StackScript UDF variables, enables the systemd service, and starts monitoring on first boot.

Does ftagent work with Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE)?

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

Can ftagent deploy firewall rules on Linode?

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