Using repository lists for update sites

Prev Next

The repository list specifies information about repositories (update sites) that Trellix Agent uses to update Trellix products, including Engine and DAT files.

The repository list includes:

  • Repository information and location

  • Repository order preference

  • Proxy server settings, where required

  • Encrypted credentials required to access each repository

The Trellix Agent Product Update client task connects to the first enabled update site in the repository list. If this repository is unavailable, the task contacts the next site in the list until it connects successfully or reaches the end of the list.

If your network uses a proxy server, you can specify which proxy settings to use, the address of the proxy server, and whether to use authentication. Proxy information is stored in the repository list. The proxy settings that you configure apply to all repositories in the repository list.

The location of the repository list depends on your operating system:
