Swap agents

This is the official documentation of the @forestadmin/agent Node.js agent.

When agents start, Forest Admin knows which project and environment they are linked to thanks to the envSecret configuration key.

By bringing the old configuration to your newly generated codebase, you will link this new codebase to your existing environment (eg. Production).

Notably:

  • authSecret so that issued authentication tokens stay valid.

  • envSecret to change the project and environment the agent is linked to.

  • prefix and port so that the new agent is mounted on the same URL as the old one.

Your project will then be migrated to the new agent, and you can delete both:

  • The old agent code from your source tree

  • The temporary environment that you created.
