Installing the Gremlin Agent

In order to use Gremlin on your systems, you'll need to install the Gremlin Agent. The Gremlin Agent is an executable that you install onto the resources you wish to run tests on (i.e. hosts, containers, and Kubernetes clusters). The Gremlin Agent authenticates with Gremlin's backend servers (also called the Gremlin Control Plane), which then allows you to use the Gremlin web app, REST API, or CLI to view your systems and run tests.
