The Agents tab

The Agents tab displays a list of Agents that are connected to the server. On this tab, you can configure and run automatic updates for each Agent.

The list of Agents

The list of Agents is a table of all Agents that have connected to the Server at least once. It contains the following information about each Agent:

1. Name is the name of the computer on which the Agent is installed.
2. Status is the status of the computer. The computer can be available (Ready) or not available (No connection).
3. Product status is the status of the installed software package: running (On) or not (Off).
4. Installed products is the list of versions of the installed software components.

Configuring and running updates

1. From the Update archive drop-down list, select one of the available update packages (1).
   
   

2. In the Timeout (seconds) field, set the update timeout in seconds (2)—the time in which the installation process must be completed. If the installation isn’t completed within this time, it will be forced to stop. The default value is 600.

3. Set the checkboxes next to the Agents on which you want to install the selected update. To select all Agents, set the Select all checkbox (3).
4. If you want to run Intellect after an update, set the Run Intellect after update checkbox (4).
5. Click the Update button (5).

As a result, the installation of the specified update package will start on the selected Agents.
