Install the Automation Agent¶
The Automation Agent runs on every host that runs a monitored MongoDB deployment. The agent provides the interface for starting and managing deployments. If you run MongoDB on hardware that you provision, you must install the Automation Agent manually on each server. If you run MongoDB through the Ops Manager integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Ops Manager automatically deploys the Automation Agents every time you provision an new EC2 instance.
