Config Files

App Settings

The configuration for the agent can be set in the appsettings.json file.
If this file does not exist when the agent is started, it is created with empty values. (As shown below)
The values in this configuration overwrite the values of appsettings.system.json, except if the value is empty or 0 or 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
