Packages

How to deploy agent package, step by step guide:

1. You should have two files: package file itself (dependent on
platform, it can be exe, tar or something else), and package information
file (.npi).
2. Download both files to your workstation, into same directory
3. In NetXMS console, go to Control Panel -> Agent Packages
4. Select "Install" from context menu
5. Select NPI file your have downloaded
6. If operation was successful, new package should appear in package
list
7. Now, package is installed on server and is ready for deployment. Both
package and NPI files can be deleted from workstation.
8. Right click on package in list, and select "Deploy..."
9. Select nodes to deploy package on. You can select individual nodes,
subnets, or containers. If subnet or container is selected, server will
attempt to deploy package to all nodes in this container or subnet.
10. Deployment status window will appear, showing deployment progress.
11. Wait for deployment finish.
