Description
By default BE-TEAgent uses the IP-address for the TEA-Server registration. e.g. http://192.168.56.12:9777/beTeaAgent
With this configuration, when the IP-address of the machine that BE-TEAgent running is modified, the BE-TEAgent is then unavailable.
Issue/Introduction
Register BE-TEAgent with hostname instead of IP-address
Environment
All Operating Systems
Resolution
To Avoid the issue, you may configure the BE-TEAgent using hostname for registration. To configure BE-TEAgent and use the hostname for the registration, open configuration file %BE_HOME%/teagent/config/be-teagent.props before start BE-TEAgent first time and add property:
be.tea.agent.host=<hostname>
Note: When the BE-TEAgent has been registered with IP-address already, you have two options to modify the settings: 1.) Unregister and register agent with modified URL (BE-TEAgent started already) Registration: Agent Name: BE Agent URL: http://<url>:<port>/beTeaAgent (e.g. http://testmachine:9777/beTeaAgent) Description: BE-TEA-Agent
2.) Delete the registration and restart BE-TEAgent with updated configuration file.
