Generating the SOTI XSight Agent

Before you begin

For Windows devices, the agent requires the following:

Configure and receive a package file and then deploy it through SOTI MobiControl.

Note: If you have installed the SOTI XSight Chat Service, the following steps automatically include the SOTI XSight Chat Service APK.

Select Generate XSight Agent from the main SOTI XSight menu. The Generate XSight Agent window opens.

In the Generate XSight Agent panel, enter the following information:


Platform	Select the mobile platform where you are deploying the agent. Choices: Android Windows
Version	Select a SOTI XSight agent version.
Description	Indicate why you are deploying the agent. The description is for auditing purposes only. It is not the name displayed in SOTI MobiControl. Note: This field has a 30 character limit.
MobiControl Instance	Select the SOTI MobiControl instance to deploy the SOTI XSight agent.

Note: When selecting the Android platform, a toggle appears allowing you to include the Chat Agent.

Select Advanced Settings to adjust agent communication and connection settings as needed.
Select Publish to generate a package.
The Agent Details panel displays, confirming that the agent has been successfully generated. Select OK.
In SOTI MobiControl, assign the new package to a profile to deploy to devices. See Using Profiles for more information about profiles.

You have generated the SOTI XSight agent and created a deployment package for distribution.

Note: For Windows devices, the agent installer automatically downloads and installs the .NET 6 runtime during the agent installation.
