Agent

The Infection Monkey Agent log file can be found in directories specified for temporary files on the machines where it was executed. In most cases, this will be /tmp on Linux and %temp% on Windows. The Agent searches a standard list of directories to find an appropriate place to store the log:

1. The directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable.
2. The directory named by the TEMP environment variable.
3. The directory named by the TMP environment variable.
4. A platform-specific location:
   • On Windows, the directories C:\TEMP, C:\TMP, \TEMP, and \TMP, in that order.
   • On all other platforms, the directories /tmp, /var/tmp, and /usr/tmp, in that order.
5. As a last resort, the current working directory (i.e. the directory from
   which the Agent was launched).

The Infection Monkey log file name is constructed according to the following pattern: infection-monkey-agent-<TIMESTAMP>-<RANDOM_STRING>.log
