The insight agent from Rapid7 insightIDR and InsightOPS supports advanced configuration features which can be configured by placing a logging.json file in the config folder of the agent. Distribution of this config file is not handled by Rapid7 therefore Automox can be used to place the file on all applicable systems. The content of the logging.json file can be tweaked based on your own preferences.
Documentation can be found here: https://docs.rapid7.com/insight-agent/insightops#windows
Don’t forget to add your API key before using the worklet.
