Below are instructions for installing the Intelligent Agent install using the ‘Agent Auto-Deployment’ functionality which will automatically install the agent based on your current reboot schedule.
- Open Goliath Performance Monitor and navigate to the Configure - Groups page
- Select the entry for the delivery group where you'd like the agent to be configured to auto deploy and click the Edit button at the top of the page
- A new window will appear, choose the button named Inventory Management located in the middle of the screen
- Check the Enable Agent Auto-Deployment box at the top of the page
- Enter administrative credentials, these credentials will be used to access the machine and run the installation files
- Optionally, edit the Agent Install Directory. Please do no install the agent into the write cache drive
- Chose the Deployment Schedule that fits your current configuration:
- The option for Auto-Deploy Agent if Off-line Longer Than will attempt to reinstall an agent that has been offline longer than the specified time. For example, if your VDI machines reboot every time a user logs off and the machines take about 2 minutes to come back online you would enter 4 minutes.
- Note: If the Agent Auto-Deployment fails to install the agent on the first attempt, it will try two more times. If the third attempt fails, the technology will not try again until the following day.
- The option for Auto-Deploy Agent by Schedule will attempt to install the agent at the specified date/time. For example, if your XenApp session hosts reboot every day between 2:00 am and 4:00 am you would specify 5:00 am.
- The option for Auto-Deploy Agent if Off-line Longer Than will attempt to reinstall an agent that has been offline longer than the specified time. For example, if your VDI machines reboot every time a user logs off and the machines take about 2 minutes to come back online you would enter 4 minutes.
- When finished click the Apply button to save the schedule
- Lastly, click the Save button to apply the schedule to the machines in the group
