directory of PFMS server:agent
directory and that the installers of the agent repository can be downloaded. If you upgrade to version 777, you should check that the filters are configured and restart the tentacle_serverd
service.
Once the described steps have been verified, you will be able to access the menu Management → Discovery → Host & Devices → Agent deployment.
Any of the following options can be used to define targets for deployment:
Finally, the agents will be displayed by clicking Deploy agent to targets.
Clicking on Scan for targets will display a pop-up box, some of the parameters to be configured are as follows:

Clicking Add target will display a pop-up box, some of the parameters to be configured are as follows:
server_ip
field in the agent configuration file) and port number of the target server where these Software Agents will point to when installed.By clicking OK, a new entry to be executed will appear in the task list.
If you want to record targets in bulk, you may upload a CSV file with the following format:
IP; Protocol; Target port; Target agent version; Credential identifier; Tentacle server ip; Tentacle server port; Temp folder
See each of the parameters in the section “Manually define a target”.
You may only schedule deployment against targets whose information is complete, specifying both credentials and software versions to be deployed.
As soon as you have possible targets in the list, the agent deployment can be launched. Select the IP addresses of the targets from the list (only valid targets will appear in Available targets) and with the Deploy button, the agent deployment will start.
A Discovery task will be automatically created for background deployment, which will be in charge of installing the agent in the desired targets. It will be possible to confirm that the agent was successfully installed from the target list in the deployment center (see summary), as well as to force, enable/disable, delete and edit these tasks.
