Monitoring agent environment variables

In addition to the environment variables used to configure the attached spooler, you can configure the monitoring agent with the environment variables documented below.

General configuration

When you run the agent using the provided start-agent.sh script from the bin/ directory, the following environment configuration options are available:

Variable Description
MLOPS_AGENT_CONFIG_YAML The full path to a custom configuration YAML file.
MLOPS_AGENT_LOG_DIR The directory for writing the agent log file and stdout/error.
JAVA_HOME The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run the agent code. If you don't provide a JVM, Java should be included in the system PATH.

Containerized configuration

When you run the agent using the provided Dockerfile from the tools/agent_docker/ directory, the following environment configuration options are available:

Variable Description
MLOPS_AGENT_CONFIG_YAML The full path to a custom configuration YAML file.
MLOPS_AGENT_LOG_DIR The directory for writing the agent log file and stdout/error.
MLOPS_AGENT_TMP_DIR The directory for writing temporary files (a useful override if the container runs with a read-only root filesystem).
MLOPS_SERVICE_URL Specify the service URL to access MLOps via this environment variable instead of specifying it in the YAML configuration file.
MLOPS_API_TOKEN Provide your API token through this environment variable instead of specifying it in the YAML configuration file.
Advanced configuration
MLOPS_AGENT_JVM_OPT Configure to override the default JVM option -Xmx1G.
MLOPS_AGENT_LOGGING_CONFIG Specify a full path to a completely custom Log4J2 configuration file for the MLOps monitoring agent.
MLOPS_AGENT_LOGGING_FORMAT If using our default logging configuration, you can set the logging output format to either plain or json.
MLOPS_AGENT_LOGGING_LEVEL If using our default logging configuration, set the overall logging level for the agent (e.g. trace, debug, info, warning, error).
MLOPS_AGENT_LOG_PROPERTIES Configure to override the default path to mlops.log4j2.properties.
MLOPS_AGENT_SERVER_PORT Set a free port number to activate the embedded HTTP server; this is useful for health and metric monitoring.
