Deploying Agent Configurations on a Device 

Use

If you want to set or obtain values of specific client device attributes for multiple devices, you must deploy an agent configuration on these devices. For example, you want to obtain trace files from three devices, Device A, Device B, and Device C. To do this, you can:

...

       1.      Create an agent configuration AgentConf A.

       2.      Assign the Trace agent to AgentConf A.

       3.      Assign the AgentConf A to the device profile that you have assigned to the three devices.

When the three devices connect to the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE) to synchronize data, DOE sends a message to these devices to send the trace files. Based on this request from the DOE, the client framework transfers the trace files to the outbound queue of the client device. These files are then transferred to the DOE during synchronization.

Prerequisites

You have:

·        Created the required agents

●      Created the required agent parameters

●      Specified the possible values for agent parameters

●      Assigned the required parameters to agents

Procedure

...

       1.      You must create an agent configuration if you want to deploy a set of agents on multiple devices.

More information: Creating an Agent Configuration

       2.      To ensure that you can set or obtain values of specific client device attributes, you must:

                            a.      Add the required agents to the agent configuration

                            b.      Assign relevant parameters to agents

                            c.      Specify values for agent parameters

       3.      If you want to assign an agent configuration to a device or a set of devices, you must first assign it to a device profile and then assign the device profile to the required devices. When you assign the device profile to the required devices, the agent configuration and its agents are assigned to the respective devices.

       4.      Optional: You can delete an agent configuration (if required).
