Jacoco agent for integration tests on remote machine - maven

Question

I'm using maven and jacoco-maven-plugin for test coverage reports
I need to configure the jacoco-agent to be on a remote machine (Linux), on which I'm running script that runs the integration tests
How do I make it?
Here's what I tried:
<execution>
<id>prepare-agent-integration</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent-integration</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<destFile>${sonar.jacoco.itReportPath}</destFile>
<jacoco.address>172.X.X.X</jacoco.address><!-- This is the machine where integration tests runs-->
<jacoco.port>22</jacoco.port>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>report-integration</id>
<goals>
<goal>report-integration</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<dataFile>${sonar.jacoco.itReportPath}</dataFile>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/target/site/jacoco-it</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>

This is how the plugin is configured to see the results in a Sonar, the surefire plugin and the failsafe plugin are used in combination too. Maybe this configuration could help you.
