The Administration dashboard shows a list of existing agent instances and a set of agent management commands at the top of the list. Use it to verify that your agents are collecting data from the monitored environment.
The following commands are available:
• |
Add: Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. For more information, see Creating an AWS Agent. |
• |
Refresh: Refreshes the list of agent instances and their states. |
• |
Activate: Activates one or more selected agent instances. Activating an agent instance starts the agent process on the machine on which the agent is installed. |
• |
Deactivate: Deactivates one or more selected agent instances. Deactivating an agent stops the agent process on the machine on which the agent is installed. |
• |
Start Data Collection: Starts the data collection for one or more selected agent instances. Starting an agent’s data collection causes the agent to begin monitoring the Hyper-V server and to send the collected metrics back to the Management Server. |
• |
Stop Data Collection: Stops the data collection for one or more selected agent instances. Stopping an agent’s data collection causes the agent to stop monitoring the Hyper-V server. |
• |
Edit Properties: Starts a workflow for editing the properties of one or more selected agent instances. Each agent comes with a set of properties that it uses to configure its correct running state. Editing agent properties . |
• |
Remove: Deletes the selected agent instance. |

However, if you update the agent package by re-deploying its .gar file through the Agent Status page, the credentials need to be re-created. To do that, select an agent instance, click Edit Properties, and configure the required credentials on the Credentials tab of the Edit Tab Manager dialog box. |
