Auto-Deploy Agents with Deployment Groups

Deployment Groups are used as a template to auto-attach (for Java and Node.js) and to configure multiple supported agents for installation. The Deployment Group configuration is a one-time setup process applicable to any supported agent type. It can be applied to various Smart Agents to install the configured language agents or Database Agent.

Deployment groups are beneficial for large-scale deployments. These groups enable you to automate deployments in a declarative manner, efficiently managing deployment and configuration from a centralized location.

A deployment group allows you to set up the following from a single location:

  • Deployment of agents
  • Configuration of agents
  • Setting up auto-attach for Java and Node.js

When creating a Deployment Group, you can enable the necessary agents along with their required configurations. Selecting a host with Smart Agent will trigger the automatic deployment of these agents. Also, a single configuration can be applied to multiple hosts with Smart Agent.

You can perform the following actions from the Agent Management > Deployment groups tab:
