Create a Custom Agent Upgrade BundleThis section describes how to create a custom agent bundle. Pre-configuring the agent easesthe process of upgrading multiple agents. For additional information, see Install vFabric HypericAgents in Volume.1. Back up an existing agent located in:ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundlesFor example:cp ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agentbundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnn.tgzServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnn.tgz.bak2. Extract the bundle. For example:This results in a new directory corresponding to the agent bundle, like this:tar xzf ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agentbundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnn.tgzServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnn3. Update the contents of expanded directory. For instance, you could add custom pluginsto the plugins directory:ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnn/pdk/plugins4. Rename expanded directory to the name of custom agent bundle. For example:mv ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agentbundles/agent-4.5.0-EE-nnnServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundles/mybundle5. Pack up agent bundle, using the directory name from from the previous step as thetarball file name. For example:tar cvf ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agentbundles/my-bundle.tarServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundles/mybundle;gzip ServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agentbundles/my-bundle94
