I was deploying the agents to a very large amount of linux clients (various flavours), we have a chef infrastructure in place so decided to leverage this.

 

I have created a cookbook that gets the latest download .deb or .rpm and install it and configures the config.xml.

 

You can use chef to set all the various options via attributes.

 

feel free to use

Thank you Kevin!
