Overview

Configuration of the agent server can be done by either by passing arguments to the start command, or by editing the agent configuration file. Common settings you may wish to change include:

• The port that the agent listens on (see also Changing the Agent Port)
• The location of the data directory that the agent uses as a work area for building (by default this is located at $HOME/.pulse-agent/data).

Configuration File

Pulse agents use a configuration file that is equivalent to the master configuration file. The default location for the agent configuration file is:

$HOME/.pulse-agent/config.properties

You may need to create this file to add the first custom property. For details of the available properties, see the Server Configuration File page.

Windows Service When running as a Windows service, by default the agent will run as the LocalSystem user. The home directory for this user may be something like C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile
