The following is an example of Ansible® role to install Machine Agent on Linux, Windows, Solaris, and AIX:

---
- hosts: all
  tasks:
    - include_role:
        name: appdynamics.agents.machine
      vars:
        # Define Agent Type and Version
        agent_version: 20.9.0
        agent_type: machine
        machine_hierarchy: "AppName|Owners|Environment|" # Make sure it ends with a |
        sim_enabled: "true"
        # Analytics settings
        analytics_event_endpoint: "https://fra-ana-api.saas.appdynamics.com:443"
        enable_analytics_agent: "true"
        # Your controller details
        controller_account_access_key: "123key" # Please add this to your Vault
        controller_host_name: "fieldlab.saas.appdynamics.com" # Your AppDynamics controller
        controller_account_name: "customer1" # Please add this to your Vault
        enable_ssl: "false"
        controller_port: "8090"
        controller_global_analytics_account_name: 'customer1_e52eb4e7-25d2-41c4-a5bc-9685502317f2' # Please add this to your Vault
        # config properties docs - https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/latest/Machine+Agent+Configuration+Properties
        # Can be used to configure the proxy for the agent
        java_system_properties: "-Dappdynamics.http.proxyHost=10.0.4.2 -Dappdynamics.http.proxyPort=9090" # mind the space between each property

In Linux and Windows, the Ansible role starts and runs the Machine agent as a service during installation, upgrade, and rollback.

In Solaris and AIX, the Ansible role will install, upgrade, and roll back the machine agent. However, you must start the Machine agent manually.
