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

1. Go to the Agent Configurations page (Data Collection > IT Visibility Inventory Tasks > Agent Configurations).

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.

2. Click the Create Configuration button in the top right of the page.
3. Input information for the new agent configuration:
Name—The name of the agent configuration.
Description—The description of the agent configuration. This field is optional.
4. When you finish the editing, select one of the following actions:
Cancel—Choose this if you do not want to save any changes you have made. The agent configuration will not be created.
Save As Draft—Choose this if you want to save the changes you have made but are not ready to make the agent configuration active yet. The agent configuration will be created on the Agent Configurations page with the status set as Draft.
Save And Enable—Choose this if you are ready to make the agent configuration active. The agent configuration will be created on the Agent Configurations page with the status set as Enabled.

After a new agent configuration is created, go on to the next step of Customizing an Inventory Agent Configuration.
