Michiel,
The API Management support team has a standard disclaimer for installing third party applications on the appliance form factors.
"When possible, we recommend that you utilize the built-in functionality of the API Gateway before installing external applications. We permit our customers to install additional applications without terminating or negatively impacting the support agreement between your organization and ours when the Gateway's built-in functionality does not meet your requirements.
Carrying out thorough testing in non-critical environments is recommended before escalating the deployment to more business-critical production systems. Please keep in mind that we may request that this software or application be removed from the system during subsequent support requests where we feel the third-party application may be interfering with the proper operation of the Gateway
Lastly, we do not include updates for external applications, tools, or their dependencies in Gateway patches. Upgrading an appliance may cause previously working configurations of your third-party tool to break--and such action would not be supported by CA Support. Since we do not provide updates for these external applications--we also do not test them. As such, external applications may create security vulnerabilities in our appliance that would not be present on a certified Gateway appliance."
I wanted to make sure that we outlined what is supported. We have not seen the complete steps on how to get this to work within the gateway. Due to locked down nature of the gateway, the manual steps outlined here will probably allow for it to work. Install SCOM Agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (linux agent installation) | scomskills>blog From a security stand point, I would recommend that you don't use the blanket sudoers configuration but use the fine grain control outlined in the article.
