The hidden `agent-id` flag is available for that. + +Here an example on how to use it: + +`./trento-agent start --agent-id "800ddd9b-8497-493f-b9fa-1bd6c9afb230"` + +> Don't use this flag on production systems, as the agent ID must be unique by definition and any change affects the whole Trento usage. + ## Fact gathering plugin system A plugin system is available in the Agent, in order to add new fact gathering options, so it can run user created checks in the server side.
