• endpoint: Mandatory, the GRPC service address of taosX.
• token: Mandatory, the Token generated when creating the Agent on Explorer.
• compression: Optional, can be true or false, default to false. If configured to true, enable communication data compression between Agent and taosX.

As shown below:
