Automated Linux Agent install

Question

Hi

I am looking to install the Linux agent across over 100 servers.
I have manually installed it on one server as a test using the yum install method, I was then required to do a "service swiagentd init" and enter some settings.
We manage the servers with puppet so I can easily add the repo to the servers and install the rpm but is there any way to configure the settings (ip of orion server and admin credentials) so that I don't have to do it manually for each server?

Cheers
Martin

Thanks for that, tbh it's really not ideal but having played a bit more it looks like you can collect more data with snmp anyway so I will probably puppetise some snmp config for my Linux servers instead.
