Title: Bake generic and vanilla agent
Component: agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.2.6b1
The agent bakery used to always create a so called <i>Generic agent</i>. That
was
an agent with a default configuration.
Now the bakery per default creates two - possible identical - agents: The
<i>Vanilla</i>-agent is
what had been the generic agent. It is an agent without any plugins and with the default
configuration. The <i>Generic</i> agent is an agent with all rulesets being
applied that do
not have any positive restrictions. It is the agent for a generic host, i.e. a host that
has no tags and no name. All rules that do not require certain tags to be
<i>set</i> or
do require the host to have a certain name are being used. This allows you to create a
proper
agent without creating any host at the first place.
