Overview

Universal Agent 7.7.x Administration provides information on Universal Agent Databases and Universal Agent Security for all Universal Agent packages on all supported operating systems.

The following information is provided for the administration of Universal Agent components:

Universal Agent Databases

Universal Agent components provide features such as fault tolerance, managed configuration, event subsystem (UES) data collection, and event monitoring that rely upon a set of databases for their implementation:

Universal Agent Security

Each Universal Agent component is designed to be a secure system. Security is comprised of the following basic elements:

Licensing

Prior to Universal Agent 6.9.0.0, licenses for individual Agent components were stored in their respective configuration files. Aside from verifying that the license information was valid (that is, the individual license parameters were capable of generating a key at runtime that matched the configured license key), no enforcement of license counts was done.

With Universal Agent 6.9.0.0, the method by which license information is obtained and configured changed.

To enable centralized visibility and enforcement of Universal Agent licenses, Universal Controller 7.7.0.0 provides all license information to distributed Agents via a Universal Controller for Agent Management (UCAM) deployment,. This provides an opportunity to configure and enforce licensed Agent counts and manage the use of optional Universal Agent components.
