+# Direct uplink
+## What is direct uplink?
+In default, SkyWalking agent uses naming service to find all collector
addresses. Then connect to gRPC services.
+
+In **direct updalink**, mean no naming service available or don't work well,
set the gRPC addresses in agent directly.
+The agent uses theses addresses to connect gRPC services.
+
+## Why need this?
+Agent uplink data through the following network
+1. VPCs in Cloud
+1. Internet
+1. Different subnet.
+1. IPs and Ports proxy
+
+## Set the agent config
+1. Remove `collector.servers` config item.
+2. You can find the following settings in `agent.config`
+```
+# Collector agent_gRPC/grpc service addresses.
+# Secondary address setting, only effect when "collector.servers" is empty.
+# By using this, no discovery mechanism provided. The agent only uses these
addresses to uplink data.
+# Recommend to use this only when collector cluster IPs are unreachable from
agent side. Such as:
+# 1. Agent and collector cluster are in different VPC in Cloud.
+# 2. Agent uplinks data to collector cluster through Internet.
+# collector.direct_servers=www.skywalking.service.io
+```
+
+3. Set `collector.direct_servers` to a domain name, IP:PORTs, with split by
comma(,).
