Configuring the Edge Delta Agent
Use Visual Pipelines or a text editor to configure the agent.

Visual Pipelines is a tool you can use to view and modify your data pipeline configuration.
Starting at version 0.1.71, Edge Delta agents use a YAML file that has a config v3 structure, which enables configuration using Visual Pipelines. You can also configure 0.1.71 agents using a text editor to make changes to the YAML file, for example, to pass in a local configuration file. In addition, v0.1.71 agents also support v2 configurations.
You can’t edit version 2 configurations using Visual Pipelines. Contact Support to migrate your configurations to the v3 format.
You can only view the agent version of deployed agents.
The v3 configuration structure is a graph consisting of three types of nodes, the links between them, and the data handled by the pipeline:
Configure Visual Pipelines to build your data pipeline.
Some configuration v3 parameters are advanced or in beta, requiring them to be configured in YAML using a text editor rather than Visual Pipelines.
After making changes to an agent configuration using the Edge Delta Web UI, there is no need to restart or reinstall the Edge Delta agent. The configuration settings will be automatically applied after a few minutes.
