Agent Configuration

Learn how to configure the Amplify Agent to customize metrics collection, enable additional features, and optimize for your environment.

Configuration File

The main configuration file is located at:

/etc/amplify-agent/agent.conf

Essential Settings

[credentials] Section

Option	Description
api_key	Your unique API key for authentication
uuid	Auto-generated unique identifier for this agent instance

[cloud] Section

Option	Description	Default
api_url	API endpoint URL	https://amplify.getpagespeed.com/1.4
api_timeout	Request timeout in seconds	60

[extensions] Section

Option	Description	Default
phpfpm	Enable PHP-FPM monitoring	True
mysql	Enable MySQL monitoring	True

[tags] Section

Tag a server so you can find it later. Tags are a comma-separated list; write key:value pairs or bare labels. They appear as chips on the Servers list and on each server's page, and clicking one filters the list to servers carrying that tag.

Option	Description	Default
tags	Comma-separated tags, e.g. env:prod, region:eu-west-1, edge. The full list is re-sent on every agent restart, so removing a tag here removes it from Amplify.	(none)
