Customize Agent Installer Platform Configuration

The Agent Installer Platform has several commands available to customize the configuration. You can run the commands during or after installation, and issue the commands to the zfictl executable, located in the Agent Installer Platform directory. The Agent Installer Platform periodically checks the configuration file and applies the changes.

Note: Do not modify the zero-config.json file directly as this may result in undefined behavior.
