problem connecting flexsnap agent to cloudpoint server
Installed RHEL7 rpm without issue but registering agent fails. It seems like its trying to communicate with localhost opposed to the cloudpoint server? I'm missing something?

Hello!
Yes, it does look like it's trying to connect to localhost instead of cloudpoint. A configuration file needs to be created that tells the agent where to connect to. This command should create the necessary file:
# (echo "[global]"; echo "target = myhost") >/etc/flexsnap.conf
with "myhost" replaced with the hostname of your cloudpoint server. It looks like this step was missed in our documentation. Sorry for the confusion! We'll get it fixed soon.
