Editing Cartographer Agent Installation (section)

==Configuring the Cartographer Agent==

Inspect the various configuration files to tailor the agent configuration to your environment.  Below are settings that you may wish to change.  Configuration files contain a version number which is used by the agent for distributing upgrades.  Newer configuration files (those with greater version numbers) are automatically distributed to other agents.

See [[Example_Cartographer_Agent_Configuration|this page]] for more information and examples.

* '''xmpd.xml'''

** autoupgrade - default to true for automatic upgrades
** defaultmanager - name or IP address of system to send Traps to by default.  Traps are also sent, by default, to peer systems.
** verbose - default to false; set to true for more verbose logging
** authenuser - used to configure different protocol operation levels and access controls.

* '''connectiondata.xml'''

Add/edit/delete entries that indicate, to the Cartographer plugin, which ports are used for which applications.

* '''appdata.xml'''

Add/edit/delete entries that indicate which processes belong to with applications

* '''cartographer.xml'''

** xmpAuthenUser - name of authenUser parameter that the Cartographer plugin should use when contacting other agents.  This parameter should also be a valid ''authenuser'' configured in ''xmpd.xml''.

** dependencyScanInterval - interval, in seconds, between dependency discovery.  The smaller the interval, the more CPU Cartographer will consume.  The longer the interval, the less granularity Cartographer has for dependency discovery.

* '''cartographer-local.xml'''

** This file is used to provide system-specific directives to the Cartographer plugin and is updated and distributed by Cartographer agents.
