Understand the Windows Agent Configuration

The agent relies on a configuration file named dragent.yaml to describe the configuration that influences the behaviour of the Windows Agent. This file is located in the %ProgramFiles%\Sysdig\Agent\Config directory. You can add configuration parameters directly in YAML as key-value pairs.

Hosts

If Sysdig Windows Agent is installed in a Windows host, edit the dragent.yaml file directly.
