Changing preferences for the MVMM Configuration Agent

The MVMM Configuration Agent uses a set of default preferences that permit it to run immediately. The default behavior is to:

Write configuration files to MQS_HOME/ExtensionConfig (where MQS_HOME is a variable set in your environment).
Use automatic deployment via an HTTP connection to the TMTM Application Service

You can change the MVMM Configuration Agent preferences using the agentpref tool provided as part of the agent distribution. See also Defining-policies.

The following table lists the MVMM Configuration Agent preferences. To list these preferences, use the following command: agentpref --list-preferences

Distributing-the-MVMM-Extensible-Agent-and-extensions

Installing-the-Agent-and-monitoring-extensions

Preference	Value	Default
ASHost	For auto deployment. The host where the MVMM Application Service runs.	The MVMM Application Service normally resides on the same host as the MVMM Topic Service so the MVMM Configuration Agent uses the MVMM Topic Service setting. When you configure the agent to connect to the MVMM Topic Service using agentpref, the MVMM Configuration Agent begins automatic deployments.
ASPort	For auto deployment. The port where the MVMM Application Service runs.	The default MVMM Application Service port is 15007. Ensure that no firewalls between the agent and MVMM Application Service host are blocking this port.
ASSecure	For auto deployment. Connects to the MVMM Application Service using a secure (HTTPS) connection. See Post-core-component-installation-and-configuration.	False.
BatchInterval	How often BTM extensions publish updates.	30 seconds.
ChangeConfigDirectoryTo	Instructs the MVMM Configuration Agent to change the directory to which it writes configurations. If configurations exist, they are moved to this location. If the agent is not running, they are moved when it starts. The agent removes this preference when the change is processed.	Not applicable.
ConfigInterval	Configures the interval, in seconds, used by monitoring extensions to check for configuration changes.	60 seconds.
DeploymentInterval	Configures the interval, in seconds, used to check the deployment source for changes.	60 seconds.
DeploySourceDirectory	For manual deployments. The directory from which the MVMM Configuration Agent reads deployments.	If this preference is not set, the MVMM Configuration Agent automatically reads deployments from the MVMM Application Service. If this preference is set, the agent processes manual deployments, and preferences for auto deployment are ignored. Remove this preference to revert to automatic deployments.
MSPassword	Password to access media when auto-deploy is used. For auto deployment. The password used to connect to the media repository of the MVMM Application Service. Note Passwords will be encoded in an encoding supported by the extension. However you may provide the value encoded and the value will be re-encoded to the supported encoding. Supported encodings are: OBF, Base64, Cryptor and Cloaker.	A default password is used.
MSRetries	Number of retry attempts made when accessing media.	3
MSRetryInterval	Interval between retry attempts.	1 second.
MSUser	For auto deployment. The username used to connect to the media repository of the MVMM Application Service.	A default username is used.
NativeEncoding	Override the default native encoding of a BTM extension.	If not set, the environment's default native encoding is used (as set by the system). If set, the BTM extensions use the CCSID defined by the NativeEncoding property.
DisableAgentDistribution	Disables any further agent distribution. Any distributions already scheduled complete.	False.
ChangeDistributionDirectoryTo	Instructs the MVMM Configuration Agent to change the directory to which it writes agent and extension distributions. If distributions exist, they are moved to this location. If the agent is not running, they are moved when it starts. The agent removes this preference when the change is processed.	Not applicable
ASSecure	For auto deployment and agent and extension distributions, indicates that the agent connects to the MVMM Application Service using a secure (HTTPS) connection.	True.
ASTrustStore	A java keystore containing the certificate for the Application Service HTTPS port, used for auto deployment. A trust store is provided in the MVMM Configuration Agent package if using an agent distribution. Use the MVMM Configuration Agent in console mode, and issue the "saveHTTPSCertificate" command to capture the current HTTPS certificate. The key store must reside either in the configuration/services directory of the MVMM Configuration Agent, or the directory defined by the MQS_HOME environment variable.	httpsTrustStore.jks
ASTrustStorePassword	Password used to access the java key store. Note Passwords will be encoded in an encoding supported by the extension. However you may provide the value encoded and the value will be re-encoded to the supported encoding. Supported encodings are: OBF, Base64, Cryptor and Cloaker.	A default password is used
ASTrustStoreType	The key store type	jks

EXAMPLE: Change the deployment interval from the default to 30 seconds.

Use this command: agentpref --set "BTMConfig Ext" DeploymentInterval 30

where:
BTMConfig Ext is the name of the extension. Any space characters in the extension name might need to be enclosed in quotation marks or escaped depending on the shell being used to issue the command.
