Hi Pete,

(remember me from your USC days, looong ago?)

We've been struggling with this for some time too.  The doc that Andy recently shared opened a lot of doors for our work.  I know it was pulled together very quickly and has some issues, but it had enough core info to allow a breakthrough of the morass we were in before hand.

I've assembled our own quick start document, HEAVILY based on the original doc Andy shared, you can take a look at it at:

I think we've a reasonable handle on things now.  We're planning a large 30+ agent deployment across our relatively new backbone to allow our networking and monitoring folks to know of internal issues before the emails from our users start.

We're in the process of deploying 10 agents right now.  This is to shake out the deployment process and allow us to try a few different bits of hardware before we go for the whole 30+ agent deployment.

We expect to PXE boot the agents in the field.  Toward that end we've developed kickstart files for Centos systems and would be happy to share them if anyone is interested.

Hope this of help you and any others reading.  PLEASE do provide feedback and suggestions.

Phil
