Re: Agent configuration deployment

Thank you very much for your reply. Regarding to the server-based configs, I
think that this future is very useful and I will use it.

It would be nice if after I have modified server-based config, I could
schedule configuration file deployment to all servers (that match filtering
script).

As I have already installed agents on more than 10+ windows servers, the
only "easy" way for me to deploy configuration file to all agents at once is
to modify service definition on each of the windows server to include -M in
command line. To do this I have created simple NPI file:

-- nx_change_service-win32.npi --
NAME nx_change_service
PLATFORM windows-i386
VERSION 0.2.14
DESCRIPTION NetXMS Agent Adjustment Script
FILE nx_change_service.cmd
-- nx_change_service-win32.npi --

And cmd file:

-- nx_change_service-win32.cmd --
sc config "NetXMSAgentdW32" binPath= "C:\NetXMS\bin\nxagentd.exe -M
xx.xx.xx.xx -d -c C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf" > nul
net stop "NetXMSAgentdW32"
net start "NetXMSAgentdW32"
-- nx_change_service-win32.cmd --

After I have deployed this file to Entire network, only Windows based
servers were updated and now to deploy "fresh" agent configuration file to
windows based servers I can simply restart agent.

I will do almost the same for linux based servers.

As you can see it would be very nice if user, after making changes to config
file, could deploy this file to agent from console. I don't think that it is
hard to implement, all the necessary framework is already implemented.
