Configure MID-less Agent Client Collector using a single-line command

Use a single-line command to set up a MID-less Agent Client Collector. You can also use the single-line command to migrate agents configured with a MID Server to have a MID-less configuration.

Before you begin

Role required:

• In a Linux or macOS environment: root
• In a Windows environment: agent_client_collector_admin

About this task

Running the single-line command includes flags, which indicate the options to be added to the acc.yml configuration file. These options dictate the configuration of the MID-less Agent Client Collector. If you don’t specify an option in the command, the existing option in the acc.yml file is used. If there’s no existing option, an error message indicates that the parameter is required to enable connecting to an endpoint.

Running a command validates that a connection can be made with the specified parameter (for example, the specified registration-key value). However, the command doesn’t verify if the value of the parameter is valid.

Procedure

1. Run the following command in a terminal window: acc gateway ics <flags>.
   The available flags appear in the following table:

   Table 1. MID-less configuration flags

   Flag	Type	Description
   -y, <--acc-yml>	String	Location of the acc.yml being configured. Can also be used to modify and validate parameters if the file is in a different location from the default. Can also be used to modify a different file location to check if the parameters specified are valid. Optional. If no value is entered, the default location of the acc.yml file is used.
   -b, <--backend-url>	String	The gRPC URL for the ITOM cloud services (ICS) gateway.
   -i, <--instance-url>	String	The instance URL.
   -r, <registration-key>	String	The registration key for the ITOM cloud services (ICS) gateway.
   -h, help	N/A	Explains what the specified command does.

2. Restart the agent for the configuration settings to be entered into the acc.yml file.
