Agents View

Toolbar

The following buttons are available on the toolbar within the Agents view:

View Agent Summary

Opens the Agent Summary view, which provides details for all known Agents and their status.

Manage, Save and Load Filters

Allows for the selection of built-in or user-defined filters and to save and manage filters.  Default Agent filters include Connected and Disconnected.

Assign Tags

Opens the Assign Tags dialog where resources can be viewed and assigned to tags or categories.  Tagging resources helps when managing large number of resources.

Filtering Agents

To filter a large list of Agents, use the Filter field located below the toolbar buttons in the Agent view.  For more details on how to filter agents, see List Filters.

Updating Peer Agents

If the Peer Agent software running on a host is out of date, the host will be shown as having a pending update in this view.  When right-clicking the host, the option to automatically update the Peer Agent software will also be available.  You can update directly from the Peer Management Center; updating usually does not require any additional actions on the host server itself.  See Updating Peer Agents for more information.
