Arguments typically passed on the command line can be instead added to a JSON file. The JSON file should contain one property, called args which is an array of string objects. The array represents the ordered set of arguments (commands, subcommand and switches) exactly as they'd appear if passing them on the command line.

For example, passing the following JSON file to ICE Agent using the command:
agent /path/to/config.json as shown below.

This is equivalent to invoking:

The Agent will interpret the first argument as a configuration file if, and only if, the following two conditions are met:

 There is only one argument passed to agent.

 The argument refers to an existent, readable file.

As noted in the previous section, use the --mount or --volume switches to make the command file visible the agent application inside a Docker container.

Some commands and switches in ICE Agent are not intended for general use. These are noted in the informational/help text with “For engineering use only.” Use of engineering commands or switches may result in data loss or a service outage.

When purchasing a license for tactical features, you will be asked by Instant Connect sales to provide the installation ID of the system where the license will be installed. Determine this value by executing the command:

This will return your Installation ID as shown in the example below:
