Configuration¶
The agent works out of the box with no configuration. Everything here is optional — for connecting to a fleet, changing the backend, or tuning privacy.
Command-line flags¶
Run the agent binary (acutis-go on macOS/Linux, acutis-go.exe on Windows) with:
| Flag | What it does |
|---|---|
-status |
Print a local diagnostic readout right now (works offline). |
-support-code |
Print this machine's six-character support code. |
-enroll <code> |
Join a fleet using a gojoin-… enrollment code. |
-deenroll |
Leave the fleet and tell the backend this machine is gone. |
-backend <url> |
Point the agent at a specific backend (default https://app.acutisgo.com). |
Enroll in a fleet¶
Enrolling links a machine to your account so it appears in the fleet dashboard with alerts and history (a paid feature — see Billing).
You get a gojoin-… code from your fleet dashboard. To remove a machine later, run acutis-go -deenroll (the uninstallers do this for you).
Privacy & observe-only¶
Acutis Go is observe-only by design — it reads diagnostics and never changes your machine or network.
- Wi-Fi name (SSID): captured using the native OS API so it works under the background service without triggering a location-permission prompt. If you'd rather not record the network name, it can be suppressed — the rest of the Wi-Fi diagnostics still work.
- What leaves the machine: when enrolled, the agent sends diagnostic telemetry (latency, DNS, gateway reachability, Wi-Fi signal, public IP, driver/cert health) to your backend. Unenrolled, nothing is sent — the verdict is computed locally.
Backend URL¶
By default the agent talks to https://app.acutisgo.com. To use a different backend (self-hosted or staging), set -backend or the ACUTIS_BACKEND environment variable in the installer:
