Agent Commands
The agent binary is installed at /opt/sysward/bin/sysward. Run it directly to
manage the agent on a host.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-install | Register the agent and check in immediately. Used by the installer; disables the random start-up backoff. |
-unregister | Remove this agent from the dashboard. |
-version | Print the agent version. |
-group <name> | Join the named group on registration, creating it if it doesn’t exist. |
-hostname <name> | Override the hostname the agent reports. |
-custom-hostname <name> | Set a custom display hostname for this machine. |
Set the DEBUG=true environment variable for verbose output — useful when
diagnosing a host that isn’t checking in:
DEBUG=true /opt/sysward/bin/sysward -install
Agent activity is logged to /var/log/syslog, tagged with SYSWARD.
