The following commands are available:

•
Add: Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. For more information, see Creating a Google Cloud 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 Google Cloud platform 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 Google Cloud platform.

•
Remove: Deletes the selected agent instance.

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.

To perform any of the available commands, select 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.
