Creating an Inventory Agent Configuration
An agent configuration is needed to deploy an inventory agent to the target inventory.
Flexera One provides a out-of-the-box Default agent configuration which gets applied when you do not specify the configuration to be used for the targets. This default configuration cannot be deleted.
You can also create a new agent configuration.
To create a new agent configuration

The Agent Configurations page appears and displays the list of all agent configurations. Any configuration overrides the other configurations that are ranked lower in the list.
