You can use Smart Agent CLI to Install Smart Agent on multiple nodes from a host machine. Run the following command using the Smart Agent CLI:

./appd install smartagent -—install-agent-from {artifact_path} —inventory {hosts} —connection ssh —auto-start
CODE

To know more about managed nodes, see How to build your inventory.

Important

By default, the lightweight Python3 (PyPy) is bundled with Splunk AppDynamics Smart Agent CLI to run a few components. This lightweight Python is sufficient to carry tasks on the local host.  However, the remote installations at a larger scale require a full-featured Python.

Install CLI using the following commands if you are performing remote installations at scale:

[sudo] APPD_SMARTAGENT_PYTHON3=<path to python3 installed on the machine> apt install ./appdsmartagent-cli_<version>_amd64.deb
[sudo] APPD_SMARTAGENT_PYTHON3=/usr/local/bin/python3.11 apt install ./appdsmartagent-cli_<version>_amd64.deb
CODE

Python3 versions 3.9  to 3.11 are supported.
