About this task

The Cleanup Agent Registration Keys scheduled job runs daily and deletes expired registration keys. The length of time for which a registration key is valid is controlled by the sn_agent.registration_key_validity.days property, based on when the key was created. The amount of time that the customer is notified prior to upcoming key expiration is controlled by the sn_agent.registration_key_notification.days property. For details on these properties, see Agent Client Collector Framework configuration properties.

If a key's expiration date is approaching, create a new registration key and enter it into any existing automation jobs to prevent registration outage.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Agent Client Collector > Deployment > Agent Registration Key.
  2. Select New.
  3. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the registration key.
  4. (Optional) To receive notifications when a registration key is soon to expire, select a group with a valid email address in the Ownership Group field.
  5. Select Submit.

Result

The new agent registration key is ready to use for installation.
