Cloud Agent Configuration

The Agent Configuration Tool gives you many options for configuring Cloud Agent for Unix after installation. You can find this tool at /opt/qualys/cloud-agent/bin/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/or group
  • Change the ActivationID, CustomerID and/or 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.
