Getting the most of Chocolatey Central Management
summary
Chocolatey Central Management is an agented web console with reporting, API-driven deployments, and a new facts feature; it auto-creates deployment plans (basic or advanced), can remember install arguments, and shows package sources and who installed what. Demo upgrades Chrome, hits MSI 1603, and the relevant Chocolatey log is logs shipped back into the UI for quick triage. Deployment plans export to JSON so teams can review in Git and trigger runs, and Grafana Infinity integration surfaces license counts and real‑time compliance—practical tooling and failures are shown, not just promises.
