Credentials

By default, when the agent in installed, you will have a ready-to-go config with infrastructure monitoring enabled. To make it work - just add an API key. You can find more information here: API keys

<aside> 💡 Where to find a config?

Linux: /etc/icagent/main.conf Windows: at an installation folder

Example

Below you can find an example of a config for IC Agent. It uses Starlark as a language to configure things. It’s very flexible and allows you do both simple and complex things like enabling\disabling features, defining pipelines and even writing your own functions to filter and transform data.

# IC Agent uses Starlark for its configuration.
# If you are not familiar with Starlark you can think
