Configuration Tool

The Agent Configuration Tool gives you many options for configuring Cloud Agent for Solaris after installation. You’ll find this tool at /opt/qualys/cloud-agent/qualys-cloud-agent.sh.

Our configuration tool allows you to:

• Provision agents
• Configure logging - set a custom log level and log file path
• Enable Sudo to run all data collection commands
• Configure the daemon to run as a specific user and group
• Change the ActivationID, CustomerID, and platform configuration

The Agent will automatically pick up changes made through the configuration tool so there is no need to restart the agent or reboot the agent host.

While switching from a low-privileged user to a high-privileged user, it is not recommended to directly run the configuration tool on the already running agents. You should first stop the agent and then run the configuration tool to switch to a high-privileged user.
