Configuring StaffCounter Agent via .conf File

You can configure the agent by editing its .conf file:

  • adminemail – account registration email
  • device_name – computer name shown in the “Employees” section
  • device_id – link to an existing employee (available in web dashboard)
  • url – server address for log uploads (default: data.staffcounter.net; for local server: specify local address)
  • lock=1 – enable Lockscreen functionality
  • idle_time_lock – idle timeout (seconds) before Lockscreen auto-activation (default: 120s)

Remove the # before a line to activate the parameter.
Then install StaffCounter as usual.
