server: https://api.monilogix.devkey: mlx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxinterval: 15s

Fields

FieldRequiredDescription
keyYesThe agent key for this box. The agent will not start without it.
serverYesWhere to send metrics. Point this at your own deployment if you are self-hosting.
intervalNoHow often to collect and send. Defaults to 15s; anything below 5s is rejected.

Apply it

$sudo systemctl restart monilogix-agent

The config is read once at start-up, so every change needs a restart to take effect.

The file holds a credential. Keep it root-owned and unreadable by others — sudo chmod 600 /etc/monilogix/config.yaml. The installer sets this for you; it is worth checking if you created the file by hand.
