Agents

The Agent management panel allows you to create a new agent, delete an agent, enable or disable monitoring for an agent, change agent network discovery settings and start discovery, and remotely upgrade an agent to the new version.

The Connection ID is generated while a new Agent is installing on a remote machine. The Connection ID is used to identify the Agent. If a moved (or removed) Agent should be added again, the Agent Connection ID should be used to identify it.

The Agent type radio button is used to specify an Agent type. For a Passive Agent its location and port it listens to should be specified.

Common Settings allows you to specify how Agent Monitors will be named, and how the monitoring service should treat a new Agent.

You can create or delete agents, enable or disable monitoring for an agent, change discovery settings, start discovery, and remotely upgrade an agent to a newer version.

What are Common Settings for Remote Agents?

Common Settings define how monitors created through an agent are named and how the monitoring service handles a newly connected agent.
