Install and Deploy¶

Logpoint Agent (Standalone) can be installed using three different methods based on your scale, automation requirements, and administrative workflow. Choose from an interactive installer for individual systems, silent installation for scripted or remote deployments, or centralized rollout through Group Policy for large-scale environments.

Note

If you are currently using NXLog v6.7.9957 provided by Logpoint, you must uninstall the NXLog agent provided by Logpoint and install the Logpoint Agent (Standalone) agent. Before uninstalling NXLog, create a backup of the NXLog configuration file for later use.

Method 1: Interactive Installation¶

Best for small-scale deployments or testing environments.

Steps:

Download the MSI installer file for Logpoint Agent (Standalone).
Double-click the MSI installer file to begin installation.
After the installation is complete, navigate to the configuration file at:
```
C:\Program Files\lpagentstandalone\conf\lpagentstandalone.conf
```
Edit the configuration file according to your requirements. For configuration guidance, refer to the Configure Logpoint Agent (Standalone) section.

Verify configuration syntax using:

"C:\Program Files\lpagentstandalone\lpagentstandalone.exe" -c "C:\Program Files\lpagentstandalone\conf\lpagentstandalone.conf" -v

Expected output:

2026-01-01 00:00:00 INFO [CORE|main] configuration OK

Start the service from Services console (services.msc) - the service name is “lpagentstandalone”.

Check logs at:

C:\Program Files\lpagentstandalone\data\lpagentstandalone.log

Method 2: Unattended Installation with msiexec¶

Best for scripted deployments or remote installations.

Basic silent installation (requires administrator privileges):

msiexec /i lpagent_standalone-6.7.9957.2.msi /q

Silent with prompt for administrator elevation:

msiexec /i lpagent_standalone-6.7.9957.2.msi /qb

Custom installation directory:

msiexec /i lpagent_standalone-6.7.9957.2.msi /q INSTALLDIR="C:\lpagentstandalone"

Method 3: Group Policy Deployment¶

Best for large-scale enterprise deployments across many endpoints. This method allows centralized management and automatic deployment across your Active Directory domain.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the NXLog documentation: Installing via Group Policy.
