uberAgent

Configuration Options

uberAgent can be configured by means of configuration files (all platforms) or via Group Policy (Windows). Both variants allow for centralized management and automatic deployment. The recommended way to configure uberAgent is via Central Config File Management (CCFM).

Default Configuration

Starting with uberAgent 7.4.0, the agent installer does not store the template configuration files on disk any more. You can download the latest template config files for your installed uberAgent version on GitHub. It is advisable to regularly check the GitHub repository for relevant configuration updates, specifically for uberAgent ESA’s threat detections and security inventory checks.

Data Volume Optimized Configuration

A configuration optimized for data volume is available as an alternative to the default configuration.
