Accessing Agent Management page on local host

To determine where the Agent Management page is located on your local machine, use the local port you noted when registering the agent. For example, if your agent registration address is localhost:8087/register, you can manage your agent from your local machine at localhost:8087/agent.

 

Tip
If you are running multiple agents on the same machine, the local port number will be unique for each agent, and you will need to manage each agent from a separate Agent Management page; for example, localhost:8087/agent, localhost:8080/agent and localhost:8081/agent.

Changing the local port used by Agent Management page

You can specify the port to use from the command prompt on Windows or with sudo on Mac or Linux; for example:

java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar agent.jar setPort:8088

Disabling local Agent Management page server

From the command prompt on Windows or with sudo on Mac or Linux:

• To disable the local HTTP server:

  java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar agent.jar localHTTP:false

• To enable the local HTTP server:

  java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar agent.jar localHTTP:true

From the configuration dashboard:

1. Click the agent name on the dashboard to display the Manage Ingest Agent page.

2. Click the Agent Local HTTP Settings tab.

3. Select the Disable Agent's local HTTP Server check box to disable the local HTTP server or clear this check box to enable the server.

Managing the agent remotely

To manage the agent remotely, you can use the IP address found on the Agent Management page on the local host; for example, at localhost:8087/agent.
