[Feature]: General-usage API key for agent installations

What is the installation method of your PatchMon server?

Docker

What is the version of your PatchMon server?

2.0.2

Briefly describe the feature

General-usage API key for agent installations

Detailed description

I would like to use PatchMon to monitor workstations. Currently new hosts are added with specific name and API key for registration one by one, but this isn't possible or is very difficult in workstation deployment scripts. What I'd like to see:

  • Reusable API key
  • Input Friendly Name as argument during agent setup
  • Get Friendly Name from current hostname during agent setup

Why is this useful?

Automating agent installations for workstation (and why not templated servers) deployments

I understand the feature, but I doubt security.
Using a common API exposes all agents using it.

I imagine an API credentials to retrieve the agent API key using client ID and client secret.
