Agent Settings

To ensure proper communication between Threat Mitigator and Threat Management Agent, configure agent settings, which include:

Port number used by agents to communicate with Threat Mitigator
Time interval for sending heartbeat messages to Threat Mitigator. A heartbeat message informs Threat Mitigator that a specific agent is up and running and can therefore run mitigation tasks.

Settings apply to all agents managed by Threat Mitigator.

To configure agent settings:

Specify the port number the agent uses to communicate with Threat Mitigator.
(Optional) Choose to hide the agent icon on the system tray. Because Threat Management Agent can be installed silently and does not have settings that users can configure, you may want to enable this option to avoid receiving user inquiries regarding the agent and its functions.
Under Agent Status, specify the time interval for sending heartbeat messages to Threat Mitigator. An agent that is unable to send a heartbeat message at the time interval is considered disconnected.
Click Save.

The Agent Installation section on the screen allows you to download the packager tool, which you can use to create an MSI package that installs the agent on an endpoint. For details about the tool, see Agent Deployment Using the Packager Tool.

You can also launch browser-based installation in this section. For details about this agent installation method, see Agent Deployment Using Browser-based Installation.
