Create a Deployment Group

Perform the following steps to create a Deployment group:

  1. Navigate to Agent Management > Deployment groups.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Under Name, specify a unique name for the deployment group, then click Next.
    It is worth calling out that one agent version + configuration per language/type can be set up to be installed to the hosts.
  4. Set up one agent version with its configuration based on the agent type to be installed using a specific host.
    Under Agents, perform the following:
    1. Select the agent that you want to auto-deploy with a specific configuration.
    2. Select Enabled.
    3. Specify the Primary Attributes and any Additional Attributes.
    4. Repeat steps from 4.a to 4.c if you require to auto-deploy other agents on the same host machine.
    5. Click Next
  5. Under Hosts, select the host on which you want to deploy the agents from the available table and move it to the Selectedtable using the left arrow.
    You can choose more than one host if you want to auto-deploy the same agents with same configuration on different hosts.
    • If you do not want to specify the hosts during the group creation because you want to auto-deploy the agents later, you can skip this step and specify the hosts later.
    • If you create a Deployment group with an already configured host, Smart Agent overwrites the existing configuration. This happens because Deployment group is for redeploying the supported agents with new configuration using the Smart Agent.
  6. Click Next.
    Summary provides the details of the created group. This helps you to review the Deployment group configuration.
  7. Click Save.
