Installing a collector on a Raspberry Pi 3(b)
Credit to Brandon McEarchern who helped significantly.
The main issue with installing the collector on a Raspberry Pi is it’s the ARM architecture.
Method 1
Install Java Package complied for ARM architecture. Some functions such as ping & Netflow will not work using this method. SNMP, Scripting, ESX, JDBC, JMX will function normally.
Instructions:
1) I used PiDora 25 Beta server build currently available from https://fedoramagazine.org/raspberry-pi-support-fedora-25-beta/
-
Note Older version of Pidora available from NOOBS is designed for the Raspberry Pi 2 and I had issues installing on a Raspberry Pi 3b
2) Once Pidore is set up you may need to install Perl core. This can be down with the command
sudo dnf install perl-core
3) Install the Java environment for Fedora with the command
su -c "dnf install java-1.?.0-openjdk"
More information on Java Environment for Fedora can be found here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java/FAQ?rd=JavaFAQ
4) Next download the collector. Use the 64 bit Linux version.
Once downloaded add execution rights with the command
sudo chmod +x LogicMonitorSetup32_1.bin
5) Run the installer with the command
./LogicMonitorSetup32_1.bin
The install will unpack the Java Packages to /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java and then attempt to run configure.pl which will test for 32/64 java and fail with an error message "Wrong bit version of installer? Please re-download the installer matches your OS bit version!".
6) Rename the LogicMonitor Java Packages. I used the command
sudo mv /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java_original
7) Link the Fedora Java Package to the original location for LogicMonitor using the command
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/jre/bin/java
8) Re-run the configure.pl scritp with the command
/usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/configure.pl
The script should install and configure the collector successfully this time. Verify the connection from the LogicMonitor Portal as normal and the Raspberry Pi should show as running after a few minutes.
9) Enable Java ping to override the Proxy in the Collector Configurations.
Method 2
Use Exagear 32bit emulation.
Exagear is 32bit emulation application for running x86 programs on ARM based computers and is available for around $30 USD. Ping and other features will function using this method as opposed to Method 1, but performance is severally degraded due to the limit resources of a Raspberry Pi.

This is the equvilent of running the collector in a virtual machine. installing the collector on top of Exagear is fairly straight forward.
Instructions to install
$ cd ~/Downloads/
Download the archive with ExaGear Desktop packages:
$ wget http://downloads.eltechs.com/exagear-desktop-v-1-5/exagear-desktop-rpi3.tar.gz
Unpack downloaded archive:
$ tar -xvzpf exagear-desktop-rpi3.tar.gz
Install and activate ExaGear Desktop by running install-exagear.sh specifying a guest OS image in a directory with deb packages and one license key.
The install command for ubuntu is
sudo ./install-exagear.sh ubuntu-1404
Install the LogicMonitor 32bit collector
