Software agent installation via script

[Nitrous]

So we have an agent that we need to push to our servers, and below is the command to run it:

LRSystemMonitor.exe /s  /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=System_Monitor HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx SERVERPORT=443 CLIENTADDRESS=0 CLIENTPORT=3333"

Only issue is this part:
CLIENTADDRESS=0

The CLIENTADDRESS portion needs to have the local IP of the server and not 0. i.e CLIENTADDRESS=10.10.10.1 for example.

We have to push this agent to 500+ servers in our environment, we can install using the above script, but I am not exactly sure, how we can make the clientaddress point to the IP of the primary NIC of the server to be installed on, by itself.

Digging more, there is a ini file, that saves the IP for the server:

#######################################################################
# LogRhythm System Monitor Agent Configuration File
# Copyright 2008-2017 LogRhythm, Inc.
#
# Comments begin with '#', blank lines are ignored
#######################################################################

# Mediator sections - up to 3 Mediators are supported
# Each Mediator has its own section with an incrementing header number: [Mediator n]
[General]
# Default scsm.log logging level is VERBOSE
LogLevel=4
EntityID=
[Mediator 1]

# IP address or DNS name of the Mediator this Agent will connect to.
Host=xx.xx.xx.xx

# Port number the Mediator is listening on
ServerPort=443

# IP address or index of the address to use for transmitting messages to the Mediator.
# This is either a static IP v4/v6 address (recommended) or the zero-based index of the
# address to use from a list of all available IP addresses.  The family (i.e., IP v4/v6)
# is dependent on the Host property above.  Valid values are:
#
#    - static IP v4/v6 Address
#    - index of address to use, for example:
#        - '0' for the first available IP address
#        - '2' for the third available IP address
ClientAddress=xx.xx.xx.xx

# Port number to use for transmitting messages to the Mediator.
ClientPort=0

The bolded part needs to be filled in with the IP of the current primary NIC.

What I can do, using ansible, install the exe for the agent, copy the scsm.ini file from an existing server.

But how can I then fill in the IP section for the server in the ini file?

Take a look at the facts that are gathered, the IP address you want
are in there.
Then just deploy your ini file using a template task, using the
correct variable.
