Configuring MiNiFi C++ agent

After you install the MiNiFi C++ agent, you need to update the configuration files.

If you are configuring a MiNiFi C++ agent, the file is conf/minifi.properties. For more information on MiNiFi C++ agent system properties, see MiNiFi C++ system properties.

From the MiNiFi home directory, open the configuration file.
Configure the agent class so that you can logically group MiNiFi C++ instances according to their functionality.
```
nifi.c2.agent.class={AGENT_CLASS}
```
note
Leading and trailing whitespaces are accepted for Agent Class names so consider this when configuring agents.
Configure the agent ID. If you do not specify an agent ID, MiNiFi generates a unique ID per agent instance.
```
nifi.c2.agent.identifier={AGENT_ID}
```
Set the nifi.c2.enable property to true to inform MiNiFi that run time flow instructions will be received from EFM.
```
nifi.c2.enable=true
```

Configure your EFM Server endpoint:

nifi.c2.rest.url=http://{EFM_SERVER_IP}:10090/efm/api/c2-protocol/heartbeat
nifi.c2.rest.url.ack=http://{EFM_SERVER_IP}:10090/efm/api/c2-protocol/acknowledge

Configure your heartbeat interval:

nifi.c2.agent.heartbeat.period={HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL}

Optional. Configure metrics for your MiNiFi C++ agent.
```
nifi.c2.agent.protocol.class=RESTSender
```
