    Overview

    This page details how to configure agent settings for offline log collection and communication ports. These settings ensure reliable log collection and secure communication with the server.

    Offline log collection

    When the agent is disconnected from the network, unable to upload logs, or when storage capacity is exhausted, logs can be temporarily stored locally.

    • You can set a maximum limit for this local storage.
    • Once the limit is reached, the agent will stop collecting logs until the connection is restored.
    • Collected logs will be uploaded automatically once communication with the server resumes.
    Configuration Default value Description
    Maximum size of data directory, when agent is unable to send data to server or storage is full 0 If disabled, log collection stops when the agent cannot send data. When enabled, logs are stored locally up to the configured size (in GB). These logs are later uploaded once the connection is re-established.

    Agent communication port

    You can configure the port used by the agent to communicate with the server.

    • Use default HTTPS port: The agent communicates over the standard HTTPS port.
    • Use a custom HTTPS port: Specify a port number for agent-server communication.
    NOTE All communication occurs over HTTPS, ensuring secure transmission of data.
