Linux Environment Variables Configuration
- How to configure environment variables to apply custom settings to the Linux Agent.
What you are going to learn:
This is an advanced topic and you should only use it if you are asked by the Obkio Support Team.
Configuration File 
It is possible to control some internal settings of the agents with environment variables. On Linux, the variables must be configured in the file /opt/obkio/config.sh. One line per variable with the syntaxe export VARIABLE_NAME="variable_value". For example:
export OBKIO_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPER="true"
Each time the file is modified, the agent must be restarted with the command:
sudo /opt/obkio/agent/stop.sh && sudo /opt/obkio/agent/start.sh
Environment Variables
Here is a list of some environment variables available to use. It is not a complete list, as some variables are not documented here.
AGENT_SECRET_KEY
If set, the agent will use this key to authenticate with the Obkio Cloud. The primary use case is for Docker containers with volatile storage.
OBKIO_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPER
If the value is true, the agent will use the Timestamper software instead of the kernel timestamps. This option is not deployed on all agents. Contact our support team to make sure it is enabled on your agents.
