I've written a couple of blogs on the topic of discovery in the last few days. Very simple stuff aimed at getting a basic home lab environment up and running and discovered.
I'm now extending the coverage to windows desktops on my network, using the Agent Client Collector - via the MID server that I configured for discovery, previously.
In a real deployment, leading practice is to have separate MID servers dedicated to ACC. But for the tiny size of my network we are all good putting it in one place.
From the MID server record, We setup the Setup ACC Listener link, and pick the standard port referenced in the docs (8800)
I created an API Key for the MID, and tested the connection successfully with curl. SO far so good.
On my personal desktop, I now install download the MSI download from the instance, and provide the IP, port and key for the MID.
It's reporting collection complete, so lets look at what we discovered.
There we go. Pretty straightforward. Next step will be to try to get the same working without the MID - as the ACC has recently introduced support for mid-less ACC architecture.
