Configuring the EPAgent for Network Data Sources

You can configure the EPAgent to accept data from network sources.

• Configure the EPAgent for simple or XML network input.
• Configure the EPAgent for HTTP GET input.

Modify the server.conf File

After the Introscope owner configures the EPAgent, the next step is modifying the server.conf file of the server on which the Agent for SharePoint runs.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the server hosting your Agent for SharePoint.
2. Open the following file with a text editor:

   Agent-for-SharePoint_Home/proxy-engine/conf/server.conf
   

   Agent-for-SharePoint_Home

   Indicates the directory where the Agent for SharePoint is installed.

   Default: (Windows) C:\Program Files\CA\Agent-for-SharePoint
   Default: (UNIX/Linux) /opt/CA/Agent-for-SharePoint

3. Locate the following section:

   <metric-reporter name="WilyMetricReporter">
   

4. Change the value on the enabled line (in the previous section) to "yes", as shown in the following example:

   enabled="yes"
   

5. Save the file and close the text editor.

   The server.conf file is modified. Continue with the next steps of having your policy administrator open the Administrative UI and update your Agent Configuration object (ACO).
