Introduction

Change Auditor assigns the default configuration to each agent, including both server agents and workstation agents, during deployment.

The default configuration consists of the following settings:

You can define and assign different agent configurations to each deployed server agent from the Agent Configuration page on the Administration Tasks tab. However, workstation agents always use the default configuration; they cannot be assigned to a different agent configuration.

When the default configuration is modified, workstation agents will only receive these modifications when the polling interval determines there has been a change; clicking Refresh Configuration on the Agent Configuration page only pushes agent configuration changes out to server agents.

To enable custom auditing and protection, you must assign templates to an agent’s configuration. The custom auditing and protection features that require custom templates to be assigned to an agent’s configuration are:

NOTE: The NetApp, EMC, SharePoint, and Office 365 auditing templates define which agents are used to capture events; however, these templates do not use the agent configurations from the Agent Configuration page as described in this section. See the Quest Change Auditor for NetApp User Guide, Quest Change Auditor for EMC User Guide, Quest Change Auditor for SharePoint User Guide, Office 365 and Azure Active Directory Auditing User Guide.
