Registering the workstation
The Lens Workstation agent registers itself with the Lens Collector for your site. This process keeps the communication between the Lens system and the workstation secure. Registration happens automatically when the agent service is started. The agent will attempt to register the system continuously until successful.
For registration to work, the agent needs to know the hostname/FQDN or IP address of the Lens Collector. These are usually set upon installation, but they can be changed after installation too.
