Deploy NetPath using a rule

Use rules to automatically deploy NetPath agents to devices. A rule is a core of automation in N-able N-central.

The NetPath install rule provides any easy way to install the NetPath agent on many devices. Using a rule, N-able N-central automates the installation with no user intervention, ensuring all devices automatically have the NetPath agent installed and ready should it be needed for troubleshooting.

For more information, see Enable NetPath on a device.

Deploying NetPath on devices may require that they be re-started. NetPath should only be deployed to devices you plan to monitor a path from.
