Missed Heartbeats before Agent Disconnect

Enter the maximum number of heartbeats that can be missed on a host before the PMC labels the Agent as disconnected.  If a running job hits a timeout when communicating with a specific Agent, the Peer Management Center will check this status to decide if the Agent should be dropped from the job.

Check Agent Availability Frequency (in seconds)

Enter the frequency (in seconds) that the Peer Management Center should check whether an Agent is back online.

Minimum Number of Minutes Between Reconnects

Enter the minimum number of minutes that must elapse before the PMC attempts to retry reconnecting to the Agent.

Maximum Number of Consecutive Reconnect Attempts

Enter the maximum number of attempts that the PMC tries to reintegrate a previously connected agent into one or more jobs.  Once the maximum number of attempts has been reached, you must manually reintegrate the Agent into affected jobs, typically by restarting the affected jobs.
