Why not? That is a perfectly standard way to configure client machines.
Why do you recommend not doing this?

Technically, correct - there is no separate application/binary for "Icinga
agent" in the same way that there's a separate Zabbix agent, or Nagios' NRPE.
On the other hand, Icinga itself is lightweight and designed to be installed
on all monitored machines, so it *is* both the server and the "agent" if you
want to call it that when it's operating in client mode.
The problem faced by Gijs is certificate validation; I don't know whether he
has managed to resolve it in the time since September 17th, but there surely
is a way to get this working, with Icinga installed normally on all monitored
machines.
