Hi Srujan,
if you are using a centalized agent in combination with SSH you have different disadvantages:
- SSH is not reconnect capable. This means that there is no way to see what happens after a network failure.
- Servers cannot be checked in advance if they are active.
- Various out-of-the-box features of Automic are not available, e.g. hostgroups, using of resources at job/agent level, etc.
I also do not see any advantage to install multiple agents for this porpose on the same server. If you want to implement this I suggest to install two agents on two different servers so that a hardware failure can be compensated. As Peter wrote the jobs are very light-weight and there should be no problem for the Automic agent - but all jobs share the same infrastructure and OS resources like network interface, network sockets, etc.
