High traffic load during OneAgent update

Hello,

I have noticed that every OneAgent update will retrieve his own software from the (Managed) cluster. Why can the environment ActiveGate not be used as a collector? This will save a lot of network bandwith.

If gents does not have access to cluster, downloading agent is made through ActiveGate.

Still - something like optional "agent binaries cache" should be introduced to AG. If you have several hundrets of hosts, downloading 150MB of agent update directly to each one can be noticeable.

I agree with you, good point for RFE.
