Management Console settings

These settings can be used to connect Agents to the Management Console using the configuration file. Server settings are automatically inserted into the configuration file once you click Generate Client Config.

Mc Settings Settings

  • MC connection port is 8444 by default. It can be changed by adjusting Console config.
  • MC certificate fingerprint is unique to each MC installation and is used to authenticate Server once Agent attempts to connect.
  • Bootstrap token allows the server to authenticate clients. Read more about bootstrap token.

Advanced settings

MANAGEMENT CONSOLE ADDRESS

  • Management Console address - The Management Console's address used in email notifications or integration with Entra ID and Okta IdP solutions. Use a DNS hostname for convenient access, make sure to include the HTTPS protocol prefix and the port number (default: 8443).
  • Management Console address for data managers - The URL of the Data Managers Console, used for integration with Entra ID and Okta IdP solutions, or password reset purposes. When providing the address, make sure to include the HTTPS protocol prefix and the port number (default: 9443).
  • Use Management Console address for IdP redirect URI - This option enforces the use of the Management Console address/Data Managers Console address to construct a redirect URI when communicating with the Entra ID and Okta IdP solutions.

    Important

    Before you enable this option, make sure you have the Management Console address and/or Data Managers Console address specified, and the address matches the redirect URI configured in your IdP solution.

JOB CONFIGURATION

  • File query timeout - Applies to File query functionality for the query to automatically abort if executing it on the Agent side takes too long.
  • Job runs ttl - In milliseconds by default, value 1209600000 ms is 14 days. This is how long old job runs are kept in Console's database. The longer they are there, the bigger database grows.
  • Jobs ttl - In milliseconds by default, value 0 is 'never delete'. Jobs that were completed earlier than configured ttl, or jobs that were created earlier than ttl but were never launched will deleted from MC.

AGENT AUTHORIZATION & SECURITY

  • Identify Agent by name - An Agent instance can be identified by its name (derived from the device name) or by its unique identifier generated during Agent's initial launch. With this option enabled, a reinstalled Agent will connect to the Management Console and continue working despite having a different identifier. Note, that with this option enabled, you won't be able to reinstate a deleted Agent. For details, see Removing Agents from Management console, restoring the removed Agents.
  • Key token lifetime - Time after which the Agent-to-Agent token expires. Expressed in seconds, default: 86400s (1 day); minimum: 300s (5 minutes). Agents that don't receive the new token from the Management Console, disconnect from other Agents. Fore more information, see Increased security of TLS connection between Agents using ATA-token (Agent-to-Agent tokens). Key token lifetime parameter value must be higher than double the value of the Key token overlap parameter. Otherwise behavior is undefined and leads to Agent's instability.
  • Key token overlap - Time period for when the two tokens, the current one and the new one, remain valid until all Agents receive the new token from the Management Console. Expressed in seconds, default: 3600s (3 hours); maximum: 86400s (24 hours). The Key token lifetime must be more than double the value of the Key token overlap. Failing to adhere to this rule results in undefined behavior, leading to the Agent instability.

MANAGEMENT CONSOLE TRUST & SECURITY

  • Custom trusted CA certificates - Applies to all external connections from Management Console to remote services like SMTP server, LDAP, webhook destinations which make use of signed certificates.
  • User session idle timeout - User session expiration timeout since last activity. Default: 15 minutes.
  • Webhooks whitelist - A list of authorized webhook notifications destinations. If empty, all destinations are allowed.

    Important

    If you enable webhooks whitelisting, make sure to include the existing webhook definitions in the list of authorized destinations. Otherwise, the Management Console will stop sending notifications to those destinations.

UI

  • Background tab timeout - The time interval after which the inactive tab with the Management Console UI will be unloaded from the system memory. Returning to this tab will reload the page.
  • Tables search history - Preserves search phrase objects filtering when navigating between UI tabs, and stores the last 10 search patterns.

DEBUG & LOGGING

  • Management Console log level - By default it's 'debug'. Verbose is the most detailed level at which Console keeps record of its activity and is mainly needed for support team. The more detailed level is, the more logs are recorded.
