Linux Unix Agent

Linux Unix Agent

Overview

The Linux/Unix Agent resource provides information about Universal Agent for UNIX running on a Linux/Unix platform. To run a Linux/Unix task, you need a UNIX Agent installed and running on the target machine.

Linux/Unix Agent Details

Linux/Unix Agent Details provide the information necessary for the scheduler to locate and communicate with the machine where the Agent resides. Universal Controller creates this record automatically when the Agent connects with the Controller.

To view Linux/Unix Agent Details:

Step 1

From the Agents & Connections navigation pane, select Agents > Linux/Unix Agents. The Linux/Unix Agents list displays a list of connected Linux/Unix Agents.

Note

You also can select Agents > All Agents from the Agents & Connections navigation pane to display a list of all connected Agents: Linux/Unix, Windows, and z/OS.

Step 2

Click the Details icon or click anywhere in the Agent row to display Details for that agent.
 


 
Most fields are read-only; however, you can make the following changes:

  1. Add a Member of Business Services.

  2. Assign Credentials.

  3. Change the heartbeat interval. The heartbeat is a status message sent from the Agent to the Controller.

  4. Change the Log Level (default is Informational).

  5. Select whether or not to apply a Task Execution Limit (and Limit Amount) on the Agent.



You also can choose to temporarily suspend the agent's ability to run tasks.
