AGENT INFORMATION

This page appears when you click on an agent displayed in the AGENTS - STATUS page. This page provides some useful agent-related information. This includes:

  • The Agent IP / Nickname

  • An indicator as to whether the auto upgrade capability has been Enabled for that agent, or Disabled

  • The ID of the last upgraded package (if any) (if no upgrading has occurred, then this will be None)

  • The date and time at which the agent was last upgraded

  • The HostName of the agent

  • The operating system on which the agent is executing

  • The current version of the agent

  • If available, the version of JRE used by the eG agent will also be displayed

  • The date and time at which the agent last updated the manager with configuration changes

  • An indicator as to whether debug mode has been Enabled for that agent, or Disabled

  • The date and time at which the agent was last restarted

Once an agent is upgraded, information regarding the upgraded package will be registered with the manager. Now, the next time the agent requests for an upgrade, the manager checks whether any newer upgrades are available. If any such upgrade is found, it sends the same to the agent. If for some reason the information pertaining to the last upgrade has to be cleared from the agent's upgrade history, then click on the Reset button. This ensures that the details of the last upgrade are lost, and helps the agent download the last upgrade once again from the manager. To restart the agent, click on the Restart Agent button. To view agent logs, click on the View Agent Log Files button.
