Configuration Through Config File
Default Configuration
The content of the default configuration files that ship with uberAgent is available here.
Configuration File Location
Windows
A default configuration file uberAgent.conf
is located in the installation directory, typically C:\Program Files\vast limits\uberAgent
.
Configuration Optimized for Data Volume
To switch to the configuration optimized for data volume back up uberAgent.conf
and rename uberAgent-data-volume-optimized.conf
to uberAgent.conf
.
Persisting Configuration Files in %ProgramData%
The agent installer completely removes the installation directory including any configuration files during uninstalls and upgrades.
To persist configuration files across agent upgrades place them in %ProgramData%\vast limits\uberAgent\Configuration
. As explained here, configuration files in %ProgramData%
take precedence over configuration files in the installation directory.
Please note that you need to manually update configuration files in %ProgramData%
when rolling out new versions of the agent.
macOS
The default configuration file for uberAgent is copied to /Library/Application Support/uberAgent/uberAgent-default.conf
. An additional copy of uberAgent-default.conf
is created as uberAgent.conf
, but only if that file does not exist already. The file uberAgent.conf
is the one used to configure uberAgent, whereas uberAgent-default.conf
serves as a reference and fallback.
Applying Configuration Changes
The agent reads the configuration upon startup of the uberAgent
service/daemon. To apply configuration changes, restart the uberAgent
service/daemon.
