config_poll_interval_sec Key
The config_poll interval key specifies the number of seconds at which polling occurs for the configuration file. Valid values are integers ranging from 60 seconds (one minute) to 86400 seconds (one day).
The default is 900 seconds (15 minutes).
Change this setting using one of the following methods:
Web UI (see Configuring Polling)
CLI (see Configuring the Agent Configuration File Update Frequency for All Endpoints)
API custom configuration channels (see Using API Custom Configuration Channels).
Manually on individual endpoints using a text editor (see Modifying the Configuration File for a Single Endpoint).
config_pull_enabled Key
The config_pull_enabled key indicates whether the xAgent configuration file is dynamically pulled from the Endpoint Security (HX) server . When the configuration file is pulled from the server, configuration updates are applied automatically, overwriting the file on disk.
A new configuration file may force the agent service to be restarted, depending on which configuration setting was changed.
Valid values are true (the configuration file is dynamically pulled) and false (the configuration file is not dynamically pulled). The default is true.
Change this setting using one of the following methods:
API custom configuration channels (see Using API Custom Configuration Channels). If you are using API custom configuration channels, make sure this value is
truein the channel settings.Manually on individual endpoints using a text editor (see Modifying the Configuration File for a Single Endpoint). Set this value to
falseto ensure that your changes are not overwritten the next time the Endpoint Security server sends an updated configuration file to all of its provisioned agents.
