When you install a CA Configuration Automation Agent, the installation process creates an agent run-time configuration file called agent.conf.
If you used the recommended default location to install the CA Configuration Automation Agent, the configuration file is located in the following directories:
The primary reasons for making changes to the CA Configuration Automation Agent configuration file are if you install CCA Server on a different server, the communication ports change in your enterprise, or if you want to make the agent error and message information that is logged more verbose. You can make the necessary configuration changes to the CA Configuration Automation Agent configuration file without having to reinstall the CA Configuration Automation software.
The default setting in the agent.conf file is to log only error messages. You can change the verbose=1 entry to verbose=3 or verbose=4 to see more details or to verbose=0 for no logging.
Another reason for modifying the agent configuration file is if you need to disable the heartbeat (ping) activity that happens between the CA Configuration Automation Agent and CCA Server. If the CA Configuration Automation Agent cannot communicate directly with the CCA Server in certain IP routing or firewall configurations, you can disable the heartbeat and manually configure the CA Configuration Automation Agent in the CCA Server configuration file (cendura.properties).
To disable the heartbeat, comment out server=<server_name:port_number>, for example:
# server=minglewood:8099
After making changes to the agent.conf file, stop and restart the CA Configuration Automation Agent for the changes to take effect.
