Cloning a server

Cloning a server

We have many servers that are cloned from images: install the software (including monitoring) then save to image.  As needs dictate, new servers are spawned from this image, given a new hostname and they're in business.

We've seen some funky issues with the agents during this process.

Does the monitoring agent need any special attention - variables or config files modified to account for a new hostname or IP address?
