A CA Configuration Automation Agent is a light-weight executable that inspects and implements server-directed operations on Service Blueprint-based components running on CCA-managed servers in your enterprise. It can perform deep configuration management of both server and software configurations.
CA Configuration Automation Agents are installed as daemons on UNIX-based servers or as services on Windows-based servers.
You need to install a CA Configuration Automation Agent on every server in your enterprise on which you want CA Configuration Automation to manage servers and services in depth. In addition, we recommend that you install CA Configuration Automation Agent on each CA Configuration Automation Server machine to discover and manage the CA Configuration Automation Server components.
Note: CA Configuration Automation can also provide secure agentless interrogation and monitoring of subject systems using SSH. This option may be a viable alternative when installing an agent is not feasible or when a CA Configuration Automation Agent is not supported on a platform.
