+[[agent-binary-download-settings]]
+== Change the {agent} binary download location
+
+{agent}s must be able to access the {artifact-registry} to download
+binaries during upgrades. By default {agent}s download artifacts from the
+artifact registry at `https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/`.
+
+For {agent}s that cannot access the internet, you can specify agent binary
+download settings, and then configure agents to download their artifacts from
+the alternate location. For more information about running {agent}s in a
+restricted environment, refer to <<air-gapped>>.
+
+To change the binary download location:
+
+. In {fleet}, click **Agent policies**.
+Select the name of the policy you want to edit.
+
+. Click the **Settings** tab and scroll to **Agent binary download**.
+
+. Specify the address where you are hosting the artifacts repository or select the default to use the location specified in the {fleet} <<fleet-agent-binary-download-settings,agent binary download settings>>.

+[[fleet-agent-hostname-format-settings]]
+== Set the {agent} host name format
+
+The **Host name format** setting controls the format of information provided about the current host through the <<host-provider,host.name>> key, in events produced by {agent}.
+
+. In {fleet}, click **Agent policies**.
+Select the name of the policy you want to edit.
+
+. Click the **Settings** tab and scroll to **Host name format**.
+
+. Select one of the following:
+
+** **Hostname**: Information about the current host is in a non-fully-qualified format (`somehost`, rather than `somehost.example.com`). This is the default reporting format.
+
+** **Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)**: Information about the current host is in FQDN format (`somehost.example.com` rather than `somehost`). This helps you to distinguish between hosts on different domains that have similar names. The fully qualified hostname allows each host to be more easily identified when viewed in {kib}, for example.
+
+. Save your changes.
+
+NOTE: FQDN reporting is not currently supported in APM.
+
+For FQDN reporting to work as expected, the hostname of the current host must either:
+
+* Have a CNAME entry defined in DNS.
+* Have one of its corresponding IP addresses respond successfully to a reverse DNS lookup.
+
+If neither pre-requisite is satisfied, `host.name` continues to report the hostname of the current host in a non-fully-qualified format.
