Automated Agent Configuration

We have written a script which can analyze a server and determine the services that we care to monitor on that device which then updates the node.  Following that templates apply to the node to then start monitoring these services.  The issue we are having is how to push agent configuration changes to the servers based on what we find AUTOMATICALLY. 

As an example:

Server 1 has ssh, https and radius running
Server 2 has ssh and https

We have files that typically go into the nxagent.conf.d for each of these services that have ExternalParameters, Actions,...  At this point we have not found any automated way of getting these to the client.  Yes, I know you can push configurations but that only seems to allow for an ENTIRE configuration to be pushed, not just the components needed.  Thought about going about this using Policies but does not seem to be any way to automatically install / update them.

Looking for suggestions on how to automate this process.  Pretty much want it to find a new node on the network and completely set it up for monitoring after the agent is setup.

Thanks!
