Hi,

I've been trying to find out what this feature does, but I can't seem to find out exactly what it does.

I'm not supposed to manually copy the content of my created config to the nodes running th agent am I?

Is there perhaps any way to copy the config to one of the packages in the package monitor?

Hello!

It's intended for centrally stored configs. If you start agent with option -M management_server_address, then agent tries to connect to management server and get configuration file from there. In agent configuration manager you can define these configs and filters to decide which agent takes which config.

Best regards,
Victor

is cmd option "-M management_server_address" equal to "Servers =" at agent's config file?
if i define this parameter, will Agent sync config file with Management server every time at agent start?

and how can i add an extra path info to Agent's setup command line?

is it possible? -P "path_to_agent_folder"

=)

-M specifies address of server which will provide nxagentd.conf. It can be the same server as in Servers parameter, or different.

Yes, agent will sync config every time it starts.

I'm not sure what you mean: specify path for agent's config, or target directory for installation?

path for Agent installation, sure =)

Victor Kirhenshtein

nxagent-0.2.21.exe /DIR=path

Full list of possible agent installer options can be found in Installation Guide, section 5.5.
