This page details the configuration options supported in Agent version 6 or later compared to version 5. If you don't see a configuration option listed here, this might mean:

- The option refers to a feature that's currently under development
- The option refers to a feature that's scheduled but will come later
This is the list of configuration options that are either new, renamed or changed in any way.
