Agent Control Commands*Available only in HQ Enterprise This page, which you can select from the Views tab for an HQ Agent, or a group of agents, in inventory, allows you to perform selected operations on the agent. Note: Agent control commands are only available for HQ Enteprise Agents version 4.0 and later. Feedback is welcome. Click Add Comment at the bottom of the page. Tasks Available on this PageRestart the agent This command invokes the agent's Java Service Wrapper's restart command. The restart command shuts down the JVM process in which the agent runs, waits for the process to terminate cleanly, and spawns a new JVM process for the agent. During the restart process, the agent's metric collection and resource control functionality will be interrupted. The restart command happens asynchronously. To verify that the restart succeeded you can go to the page for the agent in the HQ Portal and check its availability. Alternatively, you could configure an alert for the agent that fires when the agent's availability changes. To restart an agent:
Ping the agent
Upgrade an agent to a newer version When you invoke this operation:
The configuration settings in the agents /conf file are preserved.
Push a plugin to the agent This operation allows you to transfer new, customer, updated, or patched plugins from the HQ Server to the target agent(s). Pushing plugins to an agent results in an agent restart.
