Configuring and Customizing Agents

Enable or disable Agents, configure the Agent version for a project, and customize Agent's behavior.

In the main menu, click (Projects) and open a project that you want to configure.

Click Analysis. You can do the following:

  • Enable or disable all the connected Agents for the current project.

    Toggle the On/Off switch under Agent State.

    Attention: This setting will take effect for newly connected Agents, and for already connected Agents once your application is restarted.
  • Select a version of the Agent software to use with the project.

    By default, the version is Latest. Where possible, we recommend using the latest available Agent version to benefit from the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes, but in some cases you might not be able to upgrade and need to use an older version.

    Note: The Seeker server is backwards compatible with older versions of the Seeker Agents, supported for up to 18 months after their release. However, the server is not forwards compatible with newer versions of the Seeker Agents.

    Select a version from the dropdown list under Agent Version and click the Set version button that becomes enabled. The Agent binaries of the selected version will be downloaded next time you install an Agent for this project.

  • Use API to download an Agent.
    /api/{ver}/installers/agents/binaries/{technology} GET
    Downloads an Agent installer binary archive for the specified technology.

    You can request a specific version of the Agent by passing one of the following parameters:

    • projectKey: Pass it to request the Agent version that is defined for this project.
    • agentVersion: Requested Agent version, or latest. If not passed, the default version is the latest or the version defined in the SEEKER_DEFAULT_AGENT_VERSION variable. This parameter is ignored if passed together with a projectKey.

    Save the archive on the machine where you want to install the Agent, and follow the technology-specific instructions in Connect Agents Directly.
