<![CDATA[Clarification on Agent Configuration Manager]]>Hello all,

wanted to get some clarification on the Agent Configuration Manager.  If I specify an agent config with this tool, is it automatically applied to all agents that match the filter or is there some other thing I need to do?  Also, do I need to restart agents for this to take effect?  I read through the documentation, but it didn't go into much detail on this feature.

Thanks in advance.

you need to create a xml file with the parser configuration you need.
you need to upload it to the server.
you need to deploy it to the relevant nodes.

now,
you need to create a policy to tell the agent to use this parsers
you need to apply the policy to the relevant nodes.
you need to restart the agents to use the policy.

didn't do it but, log parsing is configured via xml file and an entry in the agent config file.
you can create such xml file and deploy it through the server via the file manager.
you can create an agent policy to use that xml file.
if i remember correctly, you need to restart the agent to load the new configuration.
