Agent_<value of the hostname command>
Agent name registered on the SN instance can be specified by the user. The result of the 'hostname' command is used as the default.
`name: `
backend-url
List
`wss://127.0.0.1:8800/ws/events`
List of MID Webserver endpoint URLs to communicate with. If communication cannot be configured with the first URL, the system moves to the ensuing URLs until it establishes a connection. Works when `enable-auto-mid-selection=true`
`backend-url: :`
api-key
String
<None>
API key used by the MID Server to authenticate incoming agent connections. Value is encrypted on initial agent startup.
`api-key: `
user
String
admin
Username used for basic authentication.If this parameter is empty, the agent does not start.
`user: "agent-01"`
password
String
admin
Password used for basic authentication. Value is encrypted on initial agent startup.If this parameter is empty, the agent does not start.
`password: `
log-level
String
Info
Amount of logging to appear in the acc.log file. Values:- Panic - Fatal - Error - Warn - Info - Debug
Path to the JSON file that contains the list of check commands the agent can execute. Comment out this parameter to disable the allow-list.If this parameter is empty, the allow-list is disabled.
`allow-list: /etc/agent/check-allow-list.json`
appl\_classification\_behavior
List
simple
Indicates whether to enable shell CI creation on the agent.Possible values are: - simple: Indicates that shell CI creation is enabled. - off: Indicates that no shell CIs are created for the application. - full: Indicates that complete Discovery of the application CIs is performed using patterns.
`appl_classification_behavior: off`

Description
Example
verify-plugin-signature
Boolean
True
Verifies the plugin signature prior to execution. Disable when using self-signed or developmental plugins.
`verify-plugin-signature: true`
insecure-skip-tls-verify
Boolean
True
Determines whether the verify the certificate when connecting to the MID Server.
`insecure-skip-tls-verify: true`
enable-auto-mid-selection
Boolean
True
Controls the Auto MID Selection feature to connect to the optimal MID Web Server provided by the instance.
`enable-auto-mid-selection: true`
check-command-prefer-installed
Boolean
False
Indicates the preference of executables provided within ACC plugins or executables available in the host system’s PATH variable.- false = ACC plugins - true = Executables in the host system's PATH variable
`check-command-prefer-installed: false`
powershell\_installed
Boolean
False
Disables powershell command execution on agents.
`powershell-installed: true`
allow-list-global-only
Boolean
False
Set to true to enhance security by relying only on the allow list defined in the allow-list parameter you specify during configuration, ignoring allow lists bundled with ACC plugins.
`allow-list-global-only: false`
disable-assets
Boolean
false
Indicates whether a check running with an asset (plugin) dependency fetches ACC plugins from the ServiceNow® instance, or uses a copy of the plugins in its cache folder.When set to false, additional assets can be downloaded during check execution.
Set to true to enhance security and ensure that no new plugins are downloaded during check execution.
Indicates the number of days before certificate expiration that an agent attempts to rotate its certificate.
`certificate-rotation-days-out=28`
enable-patterns-on-agent
Boolean
false
Enables gathering details on the applications which run on the Agent Client Collector.This parameter is required only when using the Agent Client Collector for pattern execution.
`enable-patterns-on-agent: true`
keepalive-filter-nics
Boolean
true
Indicates whether Network Interface Controllers (NICs) are filtered on the agent (true) or the MID Server (false) during keepalive action.
`keepalive-filter-nics: true`
keepalive-number\_nics\_per\_ip\_type
Integer
1
Indicates the maximum number of Network Interface Controllers \(NICs\) per IP type \(IP4, IP6\) sent with a keepalive action. The indicated number is sent for each IP type.For example, if the value is 1, a maximum of 2 NICs are sent \(0-1 each for IP4 and IP6\). If the value is 4, a maximum of 8 NICs are sent \(0-4 each for IP4 and IP6\).
`keepalive-number_nics_per_ip_type: 4`

pac-file
String\(Required\)
"" \(empty\)
Specifies the location of the PAC file to use for proxy configuration. Can be either:- A local file path \(such as: `file:///etc/proxy/proxy.pac`\) - A remote URL \(such as: `https://proxy.company.com/proxy.pac`\)
`pac-file: "https://proxy.company.com/proxy.pac"`
pac-cache-ttl
Duration\(Optional\)
30m \(30 minutes\)
Determines how long proxy rules from the PAC file are cached in memory.Setting this to 0 disables caching.
`pac-cache-ttl: "1h" # Cache for 1 hour`
pac-refresh-interval
Duration\(Optional\)
30m \(30 minutes\)
Specifies how often the agent is to check for updates to the PAC file.Useful when the PAC file is hosted remotely and may be updated periodically.
`pac-refresh-interval: "15m" # Check for updates every 15 minutes`
pac-dial-timeout
Duration\(Optional\)
30s \(30 seconds\)
Indicates the amount of time to wait when establishing a connection through a proxy server before timing out.
`pac-dial-timeout: "10s" # 10 second timeout`
pac-reset-on-connect-failure
Boolean\(Optional\)
true
When set to true, the agent clears the PAC cache and attempts to refresh the PAC file if a proxy connection proxy fails. This helps recover from proxy configuration changes or temporary proxy issues.
