Deployment Profiles

The Deployment Profiles are used to mass install agents on multiple computers. Once created, a Deployment Key is generated and can be used during the agent installation. The Deployment Profiles can be accessed in the App: Menu -> Deployment Profiles.

The following software agents support the deployment profiles:

• macOS
• Windows

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).

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.

Traditional agent deployment:

1. Create agent in app
2. Install agent with Agent ID

Deployment Profile deployment:

1. Create Deployment Profile with settings
2. Generate Deployment Key
3. Install agents using Deployment Key
4. Agents automatically created in app during installation

With Deployment Profiles, you skip manual agent creation. The agent is automatically created during installation using the Deployment Key, applying all settings from the profile.

To create a Deployment Profile for remote workers:

1. Navigate to Menu → Deployment Profiles
