Set the default agent and probe settings

You can configure default behavior for probes and agents. Set the defaults for software upgrades, security credentials, agent registration token lifespan, and proxy settings for installation (used when performing administrative tasks such as running scripts and distributing third-party software).

The FQDN field is a locked field (for reference only). It shows the FQDN value set in the Network Setup settings and it is pre-pended to the Server Address list as one of the possible addresses to connect to. The Server Address list is fully editable, including the pre-pended entry. The FQDN setting is propagated to all levels (System, Service Organization, Customer, Site, and Device).

Default settings for individual Customers or Sites can be configured when they are first created using the Customer Wizard or the Site Wizard.

We do NOT support the use of commas in usernames and passwords.
