One Agent installation Automation

service_apms — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 10:26:03 GMT

Hello,

We want to set up an automation procedure for installing One agent.

The only problem here is Host Group.

Does anyone have ideas on how we can automate and organize Host Group values ?

Thank you

Depending on your choice of automation (e.g. script, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.), these can be taken from environment variables or files. Since for automation the OneAgent installation requires only one command, the host group is passed during that command so it can be scripted to take that variable from any place.

Without more details about how you plan to automate the deployment, it's difficult to recommend something.

Best regards,

Radu

Keep in mind that HostGroup assignment can also be modified after OneAgent installation. This might provide a more flexible option for your deployment needs. https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/hosts/configuration/organize-your-environment-using-host-groups/
