Explanation
The best option to automate the installation of the local agent on all Linux VMs is to create an Endpoint that includes all Linux VMs and include the Endpoint in a Runbook that executes a shell script for agent installation. This way, the administrator can leverage the Calm Runbook feature, which allows orchestrating tasks across multiple VMs without the need of a blueprint or an application. The administrator can also filter the VMs by name, tag, or other criteria to select the target VMs for the Endpoint. The shell script can be added as a task in the Runbook and run on the selected Endpoint.
