• The user account used when the host is registered has been created specifically for Host Data

Collector (recommended).

To ensure that the sudo command can be executed, add the following entry:

user-name-used-for-host-registrationhosts-to-be-registered

=(execution-user-name-alias)NOPASSWD:/tmp/FsDataGatherLauncher.Unix.sh

For hosts-to-be-registered, specify the IP address, host name, or ALL.
