Troubleshooting Agent Configuration Issues

• If you get a message "Cloud/Local Configuration is Out of Sync" - it means that the Cloud and the Local configurations are different. You can review the differences by clicking the Review Cloud Configuration and Review Local Configuration buttons. You can then choose whether to push the configuration or reject it.

• Note that in the File-Log Agent, the username needs to have a dash, e.g., Administrator fails, but .\\Administrator works
