Remote deployment of monitoring agents on computing systems

Abstract:

User input is obtained at a central monitoring device to deploy a monitoring agent at a host computing node. The user input at least includes an identity of a user requesting the deployment, an identity of the host computing node, an indication of the monitoring agent and an indication that the monitoring agent is to be deployed at the host computing node. Based on the user input, a job is identified to be executed by a deployment server to deploy the monitoring agent at the host computing node. An execution time window is identified to execute the job at the host computing node. The deployment server is accessed using a service account that does not require human intervention and the execution of the job is triggered within the execution time window to cause the deployment server to deploy the monitoring agent at the host computing node.
