agent.conf Collector Settings
Last updated on 03 November, 2023Overview
LogicMonitor Collectors have configuration files that can be used to control their behavior. The most robust of these configuration files is the agent.conf file. Data collection, Active Discovery, auto properties, event collection, and many other Collector-specific behavior settings are maintained by this configuration file.
The agent.conf file is located in the Collector’s installation directory. The default file path is:
- Linux Collectors: /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/conf/agent.conf
- Windows Collectors: C:/Program Files (x86)/LogicMonitor/Agent/conf/agent.conf
As discussed in Editing the Collector Config Files, it is highly recommended that any changes or additions to the agent.conf file be made via the LogicMonitor UI (from the Collectors page) as there are safeguards in place to prevent errors. Manually modifying this file from the local Collector is not recommended and is performed at your own risk.
There are more than 600 settings that can be configured in the agent.conf file, providing you with very granular control of your Collector’s behavior and operations. Some settings display in the file by default; some may need to be added if you’d like to override the default values that are defined in the code. All values declared in the agent.conf file supersede values defined in the code.
Note: In the majority of cases, your Collector will run as needed out of the box as long as it is appropriately sized. As a general rule, we recommend approaching the customization of agent.conf settings with caution and, ideally, at the direction of a support representative.
Settings are listed next, organized by function.
General Collector Settings
| Property | Type | Default | Description |

| dns.provider | String | system | DNS provider type. Alternate value accepted is “dnsjava”. If set to “system”, system DNS settings are used. If set to “dnsjava”, the value provided for dns.nameserver is used. |

| shutdown.checkingPort | Integer | 0 | Indicates the port, if any, that must be closed before the watchdog attempts to restart the Collector. This is helpful if antivirus software is holding Collector ports (SNMP trap, syslog, and so on) open after the Collector has closed them, causing the watchdog to fail to restart the Collector. |
| ssh.preferredauthentications | String | publickey,keyboard-interactive,password | Indicates the preferred methods for SSH authentication. Authentication methods are selected in order; publickey is attempted first, if that fails keyboard-interactive is attempted next, and so on. |
