Description

The AGENT_IP option specifies the IP address or host name (which resolves to an IP address) that the Agent reports to the Controller.

If AGENT_IP specifies an IP address, the Agent reads the list of local network interfaces (and their IP addresses) and compares the specified IP address against the list. If the specified IP address is not the address of one of the local interfaces, the Agent reports an error and terminates.
If AGENT_IP specifies a host name, the host name gets resolved to an IP address. The Agent reads the list of local network interfaces (and their IP addresses) and compares the IP address of the specified host name against the list. If the Agent cannot resolve the host name to an IP address, the Agent reports an error and terminates.
If the AGENT_IP is not specified, the Agent gets its host name and resolves that to an IP address. If the name cannot be resolved, 127.0.0.1 is used as the IP address; otherwise, the resolved address is used.
