Agents view

The Agents view shows a list of existing agent instances and a set of agent management buttons at the top of the list. The following buttons are available:

•
Add: Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. For more information, see Configuring monitoring agents for data collection.
•
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 a Virtual Center, 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 Virtual Center.
•
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 Setting the Configuration properties.
•
Remove: Deletes the selected agent instance.
•
Update Agent: Updates the agent package to the latest version.
To perform an agent management command, select the one or more check boxes in the left-most column and click the appropriate button. For example, to start an agent’s data collection, select the check box in the agent row and click Start Data Collection.
