Specify the Endpoint Operations Management Agent Setup Properties
The agent.properties le contains properties that you can congure to manage communication.
Agent-server setup requires a minimum set of properties.
Procedure
1 Specify the location and credentials the agent must use to contact the vRealize Operations Manager
server.
Property Property Definition
agent.setup.serverIP
Specify the address or hostname of the vRealize Operations Manager
server.
agent.setup.serverSSLPort
The default value is the standard SSL vRealize Operations Manager server
listen port. If your server is congured for a dierent listen port, specify
the port number.
agent.setup.serverLogin
Specify the user name for the agent to use when connecting to the
vRealize Operations Managerserver. If you change the value from the
username default value, verify that the user account is correctly congured
on the vRealize Operations Manager server.
agent.setup.serverPword
Specify the password for the agent to use, together with the user name
specied in agent.setup.camLogin, when connecting to
thevRealize Operations Manager server. Verify that the password is the
one congured in vRealize Operations Manager for the user account.
2 (Optional) Specify the vRealize Operations Manager server certicate thumbprint.
Property Property Definition
agent.setup.serverCertificateTh
umbprint
Provides details about the server certicate to trust.
This parameter is required to run a silent installation.
Either the SHA1 or SHA256 algorithm can be used for the thumbprint.
By default, the vRealize Operations Manager server generates a self-signed
CA certicate that is used to sign the certicate of all the nodes in the
cluster. In this case, the thumbprint must be the thumbprint of the CA
certicate, to allow for the agent to communicate with all nodes.
As a vRealize Operations Manager administrator, you can import a custom
certicate instead of using the default. In this instance, you must specify a
thumbprint corresponding to that certicate as the value of this property.
To view the certicate thumbprint value, log into the
vRealize Operations Manager Administration interface at https://IP
Address/admin and click the SSL  icon located on the right of
the menu bar. Unless you replaced the original certicate with a custom
certicate, the second thumbprint in the list is the correct one. If you did
upload a custom certicate, the rst thumbprint in the list is the correct
one.
3 (Optional) Specify the location and le name of the platform token le.
This le is created by the agent during installation and contains the identity token for the platform
object.
Property Property Definition
Windows:
agent.setup.tokenFileWindows
Linux:
agent.setup.tokenFileLinux
Provides details about the location and name of the platform token le.
The value cannot include backslash (\) or percentage(%) characters, or
environment variables.
Ensure that you use forward slashes (/) when specifying the Windows
path.
