When to use a Deployment Profile
When a new Monitoring Agent is required, you usually create the agent in the App then you install it. The Deployment Profiles is doing the opposite. With a Deployment Key, there is no need to create the agent in the App because it is automatically created during the installation process.
With the Deployment Profiles and the Silent Installation are perfect to install the agent on a fleet of computers (servers, desktop or laptops).
Settings
The Deployment Profiles settings are the same as the Agent Settings. During the agent creation, the settings are copied from the deployment profile to the agent. When the Deployment Profiles settings are changed, the settings of the previously created agents are not changed.
