Plus, you can view Smart Agent inventory details along with other installed agents. There's also a CLI option for advanced configuration. 

Getting started with Smart Agent is simple; just install it on each desired host.

Hello, everyone

In case you missed it, there is a Smart Agent article in the Knowledge Base: Just one Smart Agent: unlimited agent management control 

The included 9-minute video includes an overview of Smart Agent and it’s real-world benefits, followed by a demonstration of its capabilities right in the UI.

Along with the video, the article lists key points discussed accompanied by timestamps so you can find them in the video.

Do let me know if there's anything I can do to make this content more usable for you.

Thanks! Claudia
