How to package your own Heex Agent

To create your Agent installer locally, you may use the package functionality Available options:
  • --api-key: Provide your USER_SECRET_KEY. It is mandatory if you provide your system-id instead of the path to your system-conf.
  • --config-path: If you have the systemConf.json path, provide it here. It shall be packaged inside your installer.
  • --system-id: If you don’t have the systemConf.json yet, you may provide the system-id here. It shall use your api key to download the systemConf.json
  • --path-to-sdk: use this option if you run the Heex CLI from a location that is not inside a SDK folder, so that you can point to the root of the SDK folder. (usage: --path-to-sdk path/to/sdk/folder).
Usage: 
./heex agent package --api-key <USER_SECRET_KEY> --path-to-sdk /path/to/sdk/folder --system-id <SYSTEM_ID>

​
How to release your own Heex Agent

To take advantage of the ease of deployment and over-the-air update capabilities, you need to release your Heex Agent to our Cloud. Available options:
  • --system-id: with this option you can specify one or several system-id’s to which you would like to upload your packaged Agent. Please use the option for each id you want. (usage: --system-id ID1 --system-id ID2 …).
  • --config-path: alternatively to the option mentionned above, you can also provide the path to a specific systemConf.json. This will then include the systemConf inside the package and upload the Agent to given system. Note that this implies that you can only upload to one system at the time, and it cannot be combined with the --system-id option. (usage: --config-path path/to/systremConf.json).
  • --path-to-sdk: use this option if you run the Heex CLI from a location that is not inside a SDK folder, so that you can point to the root of the SDK folder. (usage: --path-to-sdk path/to/sdk/folder).
Usage: 
./heex agent upload --api-key <USER_SECRET_KEY> --path-to-sdk /path/to/sdk/folder --config-path path/to/systremConf.json

​
How to install your own Heex Agent onto your computer

  • --path-to-sdk: use this option if you run the Heex CLI from a location that is not inside a SDK folder, so that you can point to the root of the SDK folder. (usage: --path-to-sdk path/to/sdk/folder).
  • --execution-mode: ‘background’ or ‘service’ (optinal, defaults to service).
