Install *nix agents from compilers using your own package management

If your infrastructure relies on compilers to install agents, you don’t have to copy the agent package to each compiler. Instead, you can use the console to specify a path to the agent package on your package management server.

Before you begin:

Download the appropriate agent tarball.

  1. Add the agent package to your own package management and distribution system.
  2. Set the base_path parameter of the pe_repo class to point to your package management server.
    1. In the console, click Node groups, and in the PE Infrastructure group, select the PE Master group.
    2. On the Classes tab, find the pe_repo class, and set the base_path parameter to your package management server's FQDN.
    3. Click Add parameter and commit changes.
  3. Follow the steps to Install *nix agents with your own package management.
