[CMA] automation update agent

Don’t you have a deployment solution at the moment to update software/configurations (e.g. Ansible, etc). This should be best-practice in your IT...

Hello !
Yes, Ansible / Intune / SCCM / RMM tools can deploy or update software, and they remain useful for execution. But the point here is different: this is not about pushing a binary, it's about CMA lifecycle governance from the monitoring platform itself.

A deployment tool doesn't provide the Centreon-side view: is the agent connected, running the expected version and configuration, reporting correctly, and compliant with the policy defined for this customer / group / environment?

What would be valuable natively in Centreon:

• CMA version inventory and connection status across the fleet
• target version and target configuration per group / tenant / environment
• detection of outdated, non-compliant or drifting agents
• an API-driven update workflow with per-agent status (pending, success, failed)
• compliance reporting

Third-party tools can still execute the deployment. But the governance - target version, target configuration, update status, compliance - should belong to Centreon.

This matters for MSPs managing multiple heterogeneous Windows/Linux environments, and equally for any customer with a large estate where manually tracking CMA versions and config drift doesn't scale. It's also consistent with what comparable platforms already provide: Datadog Fleet Automation, Elastic Fleet, Checkmk Agent Bakery with automatic updates, Dynatrace OneAgent update policies.

Thank you for those details which we’ll use to further define/prioritize.
