Tuning Configuration — General¶
The Tuning tab is the first tab of the Agent Configuration dialog and the one it opens on by default. It is organized into three sub-tabs:
| Sub-tab | What it controls |
|---|---|
| General (this page) | The agent's name and how often it synchronizes with BizMetry. |
| Auto-Scaling | How the agent forwards the metrics it captures to BizMetry — worker counts, batch sizes, and the load levels that drive scaling. |
| Network | Connection timeouts and optional proxy settings used by the interceptors linked to this agent. |
Accessing the Agent Configuration Dialog¶
The configuration dialog can be opened from two different locations within BizMetry.
Option A — From the Main Agents Panel¶
From the Home screen, open the main menu and select Agents. In the global agent list, locate the target agent and click the Edit Properties icon on its row.
Option B — From the Profile Agent Tab¶
Navigate to the relevant profile card from the Home screen, open the secondary menu, and select Agents. In the Agents tab, locate the agent card and click the Edit Properties icon on its action toolbar.
In both cases, the dialog opens on the Tuning tab's General sub-tab.
The dialog's remaining tabs — Deployment, Capacity, Security External, Security Internal, Logging, SLAs, and Alerting — are covered in their own pages, listed under Related Topics.
General Parameters¶
Agent Name¶
The display name assigned to this agent within BizMetry. This name is shown across the platform — in the agent summary, the agent card, log entries, and notification messages. Choose a name that clearly identifies the agent's purpose and associated environment.
Changing the name takes effect immediately — no restart or reinstall is needed.
Sync Interval (seconds)¶
Defines how frequently the agent synchronizes with the BizMetry platform. During each synchronization cycle, the agent transmits its status, metrics, and logs, and receives any pending configuration or control instructions.
This setting has a direct impact on platform responsiveness and network usage:
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
| High | Less frequent synchronization. Lower network usage, but slower platform reaction to changes in agent state, metrics, and logs. |
| Low | More frequent synchronization. Higher network usage, but significantly faster platform responsiveness to agent-side changes. |
Tip
The sync interval also determines how quickly BizMetry detects agent state transitions — such as OFFLINE, RESTARTING, or ONLINE. A shorter interval translates to faster detection and more responsive monitoring dashboards.
A restart is required
After changing the Sync Interval, the agent shows the Restart Required indicator until it is restarted. See Breaking vs Non-Breaking Changes.
