Installing Master or LeafAgents
The AgentInstaller GUI makes it easy to deploy additional MasterAgents, or LeafAgents to another machine. Do File > Agent > Install Wizard. 3 screens prompt for the needed information.
The 1st screen specifies a remote install (push the agent across the network) to a
machine called “MYTARGETHOST”. The port will be 9968 (the default) and we’ll take the default description of HostnameType (meaning Master or LeafAgent)
Note that port number must fall in the range of 1025 – 65535 if you change from the default.
You may use IPAddress in place of hostname if you wish (for static IP assignments on Servers for example).
The 2nd screen says the Agent is “new” (as opposed to a re install or upgrade), and that it will be a LeafAgent. We specify who the MasterAgent host is so the LeafAgent can register with the Master. We’ll use port 9968 again so only one port needs to be opened on any intermediate firewall.
Notes about port and IP from above apply to this screen as well.
