Agent Configuration
Tune how the EndpointOps agent behaves on your endpoints- how much bandwidth it may use, how often it collects each kind of data, and whether it's protected from being uninstalled.
How to get here
You reach this page through Settings, so you need administrator (settings) permission. If you don't see the Settings icon, ask your administrator for access.
- Sign in to EndpointOps.
- In the top-right of any screen, click the Settings (gear ⚙️) icon.
- In the Settings menu on the left, open Agent Management and click Agent Configuration.
Navigate to: Settings → Agent Management → Agent Configuration
URL path: /settings/agent-management/agent-configuration

How do I change it?
- Set the bandwidth limit and any refresh cycles you want to change.
- To stop endpoints from removing the agent, turn on Enable Agent Protection and set a Password.
- Click Save. Use Reset to undo unsaved changes.
When Enable Agent Protection is on, the agent can't be uninstalled without this Password- that's the point, but it also means you need it to remove or reinstall the agent later. Store it somewhere safe and shared with your team. If it's lost, removing the agent from endpoints becomes much harder.
Lower refresh-cycle values collect data more often but use more endpoint and network resources. Raise them on large or bandwidth-limited fleets.
The refresh-cycle timers are managed from the default (provider) tenant in a multi-tenant deployment.
