Install Supported Agent on a Smart Agent host

This is when you are using smartagentctl to install Machine agent instead of the Agent Management UI

Perform the following steps to install supported agents on the same host as the Smart Agent:
  1. Verify if the agent is supported on a Linux or Windows machine. See Supported Platform.
  2. Verify if the Smart Agent configuration file includes the Controller details. The agents will use the same Controller details. See Configure Smart Agent. This is required because controller-info.xml file, located in the <agent_type>/conf directory, is updated based on the Controller details mentioned in the Smart Agent config.ini file.
  3. Run the following command to install the agent:
    1. (If using the download portal) Run the following command:
      • For Linux:
        CODE 
        sudo ./smartagentctl install <agent-name> <options>
      • For Windows:
        CODE 
        ./smartagentctl.exe install <agent-name> <options>
        Note: For the list of required and recommended options, see Configuration Options for Supported Agents .
    2. (If using the local directory) download the agent zip file from the Downloads portal to the current Smart Agent directory, and then run the following command:
      • For Linux:
        CODE 
        sudo ./smartagentctl install <agent-type> --download_uri <path>/<agent-type>.zip --download_protocol: local <options>

        Here, options are the configuration options. See Configuration Options for Supported Agents for the required and recommended options.

      • For Windows:
        CODE 
        ./smartagentctl.exe install <agent-name> --download_uri <path>/<agent-type>.zip --download_protocol: local <options>

        Here, options are the configuration options. See Configuration Options for Supported Agents for the required and recommended options.

    3. (If using custom HTTP server) Run the following command:
      • For Linux:
        CODE 
        sudo ./smartagentctl install <agent-name> --download_uri https://url-path/<agent-type>.zip --download_protocol http <options>

        Here, options are the configuration options. See Configuration Options for Supported Agents for the required and recommended options.

      • For Windows:
        CODE 
        ./smartagentctl.exe install <agent-type> --download_uri https://url-path/<agent-type>.zip --download_protocol http <options>

        Here, options are the configuration options. See Configuration Options for Supported Agents for the required and recommended options.
