A connection status indicates the state of the Peer Agent's connection to the Peer Management Broker. The Peer Management Broker serves to connect Peer Agents to Peer Management Center.
Peer Agent connection statuses are displayed in the Agents view in the Peer Management Center:
•The status of an Agent is displayed in parentheses after the Agent name.
•The color of an Agent is a visual aid that allows users to quickly identify the status.
Agent can have the following statuses:
Status |
Description |
|---|---|
Connected |
Indicates Peer Agent is currently connected to the Peer Management Broker. |
Disconnected |
Indicates that Peer Agent has disconnected from the Peer Management Broker. This can be a result of stopping the Peer Agent, or if the network connection between the Peer Agent and the Peer Management Broker was severed. |
Pending |
This indicates that a heartbeat for the Peer Agent was not received within the configured threshold and that the Peer Agent is in the process on being disconnected if a heartbeat is not received soon. This status can also occur if the Peer Agent does not respond to a pending ping. |
Unknown |
If no connection status is displayed, then either the Peer Agent was not running on that host when Peer Management Center was started, or the first heartbeat message has not been received from that host. |
