How can we deploy dynatrace oneagent in some large environments?

Hi,

I'd like to know a good way to install oneagent into so many hosts.

Here I suppose that "so many hosts" or "large environments" means about 200-300 hosts.

In this case, I'm sure that it is better to deploy three or more Private Security Gateway.

I feel it doesn't matter much whether we deploy Private Security Gateway manually or automatically because we need only several Private Security Gateway.

However, it is very difficult to install oneagents manually.

So I'm searching ways for automatic installation of oneagents.

How can we deploy oneagents most efficiently?

I'd like to know both of Windows case and Linux case.

For example, about Windows, one of better ways to install seems to use msi package for oneagent and SCCM(Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager).

Is this assumption correct?

Regards,

Kohei Saito

Hey @Kohei S.,
you can use tools like Chef,Ansible or Puppet to roll out multiple Oneagents at once to a large scale environment.

Please have a look at our GIT for further information:
Ansible

Puppet

Chef

I hope that helps!

Best,

Max
