How to Install the Universal Discovery Agent with the Agent Driven Flow Enabled

This task describes how to install the Universal Discovery (UD) Agent with the Agent driven flow enabled using discovery jobs or manually on remote machines.

  1. Prerequisite

    • Ensure that the platform of the remote machine on which you want to install the UD Agent is supported.
    • For more information, see Universal Discovery Agent Deployment.
    • For a list of out-of-the-box supported versions, see Supported Content section of the Content Help.
    • Run the following command to check if there is an Alias name as smartagent in the Data Flow Probe Truststore:

      <DataFlowProbe_Home>\bin\jre\bin\keytool.exe -list -v -keystore <DataFlowProbe_Home>\conf\security\HPProbeTrustStore.jks -storepass logomania

      If the Alias name smartagent exists, go to step 2. Otherwise, do the following:

      1. Create a self-signed certificate. For details, see Create a New Self-Signed Certificate for Two-Way SSL in Agent Driven Inventory Discovery.
      2. Go to the <DataFlowProbe_Home>\conf\DataFlowProbeOverride.properties file, make sure that the jettyHttpsEnabled parameter is set to true. If there is no such a parameter, add jettyHttpsEnabled=true in this file.

      3. Restart Data Flow Probe.
  2. Install the UD Agent with the Agent driven flow enabled

    Use one of the following methods:

  3. Results

    Once the UD Agent with the Agent driven flow enabled is successfully installed, the necessary resources are downloaded automatically, including the scanner and scan schedule. Then the scanner automatically runs for once and then send scan file back to Data Flow Probe. The next scan time is in accordance with the configuration in the agentDrivenInventoryConfiguration.xml. For details about this file, see "Agent Driven Inventory Discovery Configuration File" in the Discovery Modules section of the Content Help.

    To verify that the Data Flow Probe can communicate with the remote UD Agent, check UD Agent Status in CI Type Manager.
