Configuration

Typically, startup parameters for Windows Agent are entered on the Windows Agent path line in Windows Service Manager. These parameters can be added directly to the agent.ini file that exists in the Windows Agent Bin directory (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\TIDAL\Agent\Bin).

Complete these steps in order to create or update the agent.ini file:

1. Log in as the agent owner to the system running Windows Agent.

2. Go to the Agent\Bin directory that contains the configuration file. For example, \Program Files (x86)\TIDAL\Agent\Bin.

3. If it exists, back up the existing agent.ini file.

4. Open the agent.ini file in a text editor (for example, Notepad).

5. At a minimum, the file should contain these two lines:

   [config]
   [AgentName]

   Where AgentName is the name of the agent being created.

6. Add the startup parameter(s) on a new line under [AgentName]. For example, in order to enable debug add these parameters:

   Verbosity=Tidaldebug
   Debug=Yes

   Note: Repeat this step to add additional parameters.
