```
agents_group_name = < Name of the target group for the created agents >
interval = < Interval in seconds for agents and for metric analysis >
interval_cost = < Time interval for costs, in seconds >
threads = < Number of execution threads, each zone/instance will be equally distributed in the number of threads >
transfer_mode = < Transfer mode, tentacle or local >
tentacle_ip = < IP of the target machine for the created agents >
tentacle_port = <tentacle port, default: 41121>
tentacle_opts = < Tentacle client additional options >
data_dir = < (Only activated if the transfer_mode is local) Destination path for the XML of each agent, by default "/var/spool/pandora/data_in/" >

storage = < Enable with 1 to enable volume monitoring >
elastic_ip_address = < Enable with 1 to enable elastic IP address monitoring >

stats_agent = < Activate with 1 to enable a global agent that will monitor based on the task created and the parameters used >
stats_agent_name = < Name for the agent that is activated with the "stats_agent" parameter. If you do not use and "stats_agent" is enabled, the agent will be called "Aws" by default >

total_cost = < Activate with 1 to enable cost monitoring >
cost_regions = < List with the regions in which you want to monitor costs >

aws_regions = < List of regions to monitor (when you mark a region to monitor, it automatically monitors all buckets found within that region) >
