5.1 Configuring Agents

Once you have installed Change Guardian Agents, you can configure or group them. You can configure the agents using the web console:

To access the web console, open the following URL:

https://<IP_Address_Change_Guardian_server>:<port_number>

The default port is 8443. You can use a custom port if Change Guardian was installed with custom configurations.

5.1.1 Creating Custom Groups

You can create custom groups to group agents by operating systems, applications, FQDNs, or IP addresses, and so on. You can modify the filter criteria, but you cannot add or remove specific agents manually. New agents are added to a custom group depending on the filter criteria of the group.

NOTE:Change Guardian refreshes the group agents according to the specified criteria every 30 minutes.

To add:

  1. Click CONFIGURATION > Agents > Manage Custom Groups.

  2. Click the plus icon, and specify the Group Name.

  3. Click the plus icon to specify one or more conditions.

  4. Edit the condition to add the list of agents

    • Specify the FQDN to search agent names matching the FQDN

    • Specify the complete operating system name and version such as Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition (build 17763), 64-bit

    • Use wildcard (Ex: 1.1.1.*) to search agents matching the IP address pattern

  5. Click SAVE.

You can modify and delete custom groups.

After creating custom groups, assign policies and policy sets. To know more about assigning policies, see Assigning Policies and Policy Sets.
