Configuring the Inedo Agent

Modified on July 26, 2024view on GitHub

As of v49, the Inedo Agent stores its configuration in the InedoAgent.config file. Earlier versions stored configuration in the InedoAgentService.exe.config file, located in the agent's installation directory.

Configuration File Location

Normally, the Inedo Agent looks for its configuration file at: %PROGRAMDATA%\Inedo\SharedConfig\InedoAgent.config. On most systems, this will resolve to C:\ProgramData\Inedo\SharedConfig\InedoAgent.config. However, to accomodate upgrades and other scenarios it can load from other locations:

  1. InedoAgent.config in install directory
  2. Legacy InedoAgentService.exe.config in install directory
  3. InedoAgent.config in %PROGRAMDATA%\Inedo\SharedConfig

If no configuration file is found in any of those locations, the Inedo Agent will not run.

Configuration File Format

The Inedo Agent configuration file is a simple XML format:

<InedoAgentConfig>
  <LogFile></LogFile>
  <ExtensionCachePath></ExtensionCachePath>
  <BuildMasterRootPath></BuildMasterRootPath>
  <OtterRootPath></OtterRootPath>
  <Listener Enabled="true/false">
    <Encryption Mode="none/ssl/aes">
      <CertificateName></CertificateName>
      <Key></Key>
    </Encryption>
    <Address></Address>
    <Port></Port>
    <MaxConcurrentHandshakes></MaxConcurrentHandshakes>
    <HandshakeTimeout></HandshakeTimeout>
    <AllowedAddresses></AllowedAddresses>
  </Listener>
  <Connections Enabled="true/false">
    <Server Host="" Key="" />
  </Connections>
</InedoAgentConfig>
Name Default Value Notes
LogFile none When a path to a file is specified, diagnostic information is written to this file. Do not specify a log file unless directed to do so by Inedo support.
ExtensionCachePath %TEMP%\Inedo\ExtensionCache Directory where Inedo extensions are unpacked and loaded from when necessary.
BuildMasterRootPath %TEMP%\InedoAgent\BuildMaster Acts as the root temporary directory for BuildMaster deployments that target this server
OtterRootPath %TEMP%\InedoAgent\Otter Acts as the root temporary directory for Otter orchestrations that target this server
