The eG Enterprise suite has the capability to support multiple external agents. Different hosts can have different external agents and even a single host can be associated with multiple external agents.

This page, which appears by clicking on the Associate/Disassociate host button in the External Agent Configuration page, is used to associate different hosts in the managed environment with different external agents. First, an external agent should be selected from the List of external agents list box. Once the administrator selects the required agents, the hosts being managed by the current agent will appear in the Hosts Managed list box. The other hosts, which may be associated with other external agents, appear in the Hosts Managed by Other External Agents list box. The Associate () icon enables the administrator to add a host(s) to the existing list of hosts that are being targeted by the external agent under consideration.

Similarly, the Disassociate () icon allows the user to move the selected host to the list of hosts that are not monitored by this agent.

The Update button helps the administrator to register the changes made.
