Question by Derick H. · Mar 18, 2014 at 10:43 AM ·

Automated deployment of dynaTrace host agents on Windows

Hi,

 

Is there a way to automate the deployment of host agents on Windows. I would like to try and cut out the standard Windows agent installer's dialogs to select only the host agent, as I want to deploy the host agent onto 400 hosts.

 

Thanks,

Derick

Have you looked at the documentation page for unattended installation yet - Unattended (Silent) Installation?

In your case you would use ADDLOCAL="HostAgent". Just add that to your software rollout solution and make sure to also have a small script that modifies the dthostagent.ini file so not all 400 agents connect to the same collector...

Best, Roman

We are also using an F5 load balancer before a group of "Infrastructure Collectors".  So the agents connect to a VIP and is distributed to an open collector.  No problems.  Don't try this with the Application Agents (Java, Webserver) though. 

This helps us greatly as the Host agents to 2000 servers are rolled-out (via Altiris) with the same .ini file and are then distributed to the collectors.
