Agent Installation Reference

Modified on July 26, 2024

To facilitate communication between Otter and the Windows servers you want to configure and orchestrate, Otter uses a lightweight agent with a highly-optimized and resilient protocol. Installing agents is even easier than installing Otter, and the Agent Installation Guide will provide step-by-step instructions, as well as provide some detail as to what's happening behind the scenes.

Adding the Server to Otter

Once the agent has been installed, the server must be added to Otter. Click the Create Server button on the Servers page, and enter the host name of the server, the port you installed the agent on, and the encryption key if you chose one.
