Agent Configuration Reference
The settings in local.cfg are common to all types of agents (filesystem scanner, SQL scanner, etc).
Local.cfg is a JSON file, structured as a ‘dictionary’ at the top level. (I.e, the top level brackets are always {}). Sections inside the top dictionary are also dictionaries in turn. Typical settings for an agent are as follows:
{
"agent" : {
"server" : "127.0.0.1"
},
"logging" : {
"master_level" : "DEBUG",
"file_enable" : false,
"file_level" : "DEBUG",
"syslog_enable" : false,
"syslog_addr" : "/dev/log",
"1_syslog_addr" : "localhost:514",
"syslog_facility" : "daemon",
"syslog_severity" : "debug"
},
"dirs" : {
"log" : "",
"tmp" : "",
"data" : ""
}
}
Common Agent Settings
“server”
Setting address of the Quasar server.
This can be an IP address or a fully-qualified DNS name.
Logging Settings
“master_level”
Setting logging level of scanning process.
These track UNIX SYSLOG log levels – DEBUG, INFO, NOTE, WARN, ERROR, CRIT
NOTE: the
syslog_
settings only apply to Linux agents.
Directory Settings
Default directory locations are displayed by the Quasar agent on startup – to console if in foreground mode, and/or to the Windows event log or Linux syslog if in service mode.
The dirs section can be used to override default directory locations if the need arises.
