| 4  | On the Hyper-V Environment dashboard that appears in the display area, click the Administration tab. | 
The Administration area contains links to administrative tasks that you can initiate from this tab:
| • | Rule Configurations: Sets the level of alarms that the system generates, stores, and displays. For more information, see Setting the alarm sensitivity level. | 
| • | Agents: Review existing Hyper-V/SOFS/SCVMM object instances. For more information, see Agents view commands. | 
| • | Advanced Options: Review and delete Hyper-V object instances that are no longer needed. For more information, see Reviewing object instances and deleting expired data. | 
The Agents view 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 Configuring monitoring agents. | 
| • | 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. For more information, see Configuring agent properties. | 
| • | Remove: Deletes the selected agent instance. | 
| • | Update Agent: Updates the agent package to the latest version. For more information, see the Installing and Configuring Foglight for Storage Management Guide. | 
| IMPORTANT: Updating the agent package using this command generates the previously existing credentials. 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. | 
The Agents area contains three tabs: Hyper-V Agents, SCVMM Agents, and SOFS Agents. Each tab displays a list of the existing Hyper-V, SCVMM, or SOFS Agent instances and shows their status. Use it to verify if your agents are collecting data from the monitored environment.
