Manage agents

As a system administrator, you can authorize, update and delete agents. You can also view a list of job and agent logs. After a remote agent has been installed and authorized with an application server, you can assign agents to your data sources to communicate with the application server. For more information on installing remote agents, see Remote Agent

To view agent information, click the Management in the left navigation menu to view the Agents panel. Here you can view the number of currently installed agents and the number of agents that are currently online.

In the Agents panel, click View Agents to view a list of currently installed agents in the Manage Agents page.

When new agents are installed, they display in the Name column. You can click the Authorize button in the Connected column to authorize the selected agent. After you initiate the connection between the installed agents and the app server, the agent displays one of the following statuses:

  • Online

    The agent and application server are synchronized. If the remote agent is no longer live, or the connection is broken, the status changes to offline. Connected agents also include a remote address.

  • Offline

    The connection failed and the agent cannot connect with the app server.

You can now perform actions using the authorized agents. See Agent management actions for more information.

Agent management actions

You can use the drop-down menu on the far right of each connected agent to perform several actions.GUID-E5BB0077-7555-4BB5-AE97-F04E79D0ED14-low.png

  • Update Agent

    This action allows you to change the Name and Description of the selected agent.

  • Delete Agent

    To remove individual or multiple agents from your list, use the checkboxes and the click Remove.

    To remove individual agents, use the drop-down menu and select Delete AgentGUID-87FB4D6D-6D9E-4069-AE58-FB150D0E8515-low.png

    You are prompted to confirm the deletion. Type "Yes" into the confirmation window and click Remove Agent.

  • Make Default

    By default, the local-agent agent is selected as the default agent so that you can run background jobs. It is designated with a star icon. You can change the default agent by using the drop-down menu at the right-hand side of the window.

    NoteOnly one PDC Agent can be set as the default agent. For example, say you set the remote agent as the default agent for a Data Catalog instance. You then redeploy that Data Catalog instance on a local agent. In this scenario, the local agent is marked as the default agent by the system. Now you need to update the default flag to make the remote agent the default agent. If you do not do this, you will get an error or the agent may not connect.
