Synology agent: installing from Package Center

On a Synology, the Linux agent installs as a package from Oversight's own package source, and from then on it is installed, updated, stopped and removed in Package Center like any other package. It works on DSM 6.2 and DSM 7, on Intel, AMD and ARM models, and survives DSM updates. The packages are signed by GEN.

What the agent watches, and how its verdict becomes an alarm, is the same as on any other Linux host: see Linux agent: a verdict from the host itself. This article covers getting it onto the NAS.
