Viewing Agent Definitions

Access the Agent Definitions page (PeopleTools, Performance Monitor, Administration, Agent Definitions).

Agent definitions enable you to view the details about the agents in monitored systems, and deactivate specific agents, if needed.

Field or Control	Definition
System ID	Identifies each monitored system. The PeopleSoft system automatically generates this value incrementally. System definitions are created automatically when the first agent of a monitored system registers with the monitoring system.
Database Name	The name of the PeopleSoft application database that is running on the monitored system. The monitoring system automatically inserts this value when it recognizes and creates a monitored system.
Agent ID	Uniquely identifies an agent within a system. This is automatically generated by the monitor the first time an agent registers with it.
Domain Name	The name of the domain (application server or web server) in which the agent operates.
Agent Type	Indicates the type of server process the agent is monitoring.
Domain Type	Indicates whether the domain is an application server, a web server, or a Process Scheduler server domain.
Domain Monitor	Displays as `Yes` or`No.` If`Yes,` then this agent is responsible for sending resource events for its host or domain to the monitor at the specified sampling rate for the monitored system.
Server Instance	This number is specific to Tuxedo servers and corresponds to the Tuxedo instance number.
Domain Host/Port	The name or IP address of the server on which the domain resides, including the port number to which the domain listens for requests. Note: Web server agents register with both the HTTP and the HTTPS ports. The application server agents register with the Jolt Server Listener (JSL) port. Process Schedulers do not have ports.
Domain Directory	The directory in which the domain is installed on the server.
Inactive Agent	If this box is selected, the agent is considered inactive. That is, the agent's events and PMUs do not appear in the Performance Monitor pages showing current information. You can still view information about events and PMUs that are sent by inactive agents using the pages that display historical information. To reactivate an agent, clear the check box, and click Save. To deactivate an agent, select the check box, and click Save.
