8.3 Stopping and Starting Agents

IMPORTANT:Before an agent can start, the Operations Center daemon (mosdaemon) must be start started on every host (or machine) where an agent is installed.

If the Event Manager agents are configured to start automatically (see Section 8.1, Creating and Configuring an Event Manager Agent), skip this section. To verify that agents are running or stopped, or to manually start or stop agents, follow one of these procedures:

8.3.1 Starting All Agents

To start all defined agents, regardless of the automatic start setting:

  1. In the Explorer pane, expand the Administration root element > Adapters > the Event Manager adapter > Configurations > a configuration profile for the adapter.

  2. Right-click Agents, then select Start All Agents:

8.3.2 Starting a Single Agent

To start an individual agent, regardless of the automatic start setting:

  1. In the Explorer pane, expand the Administration root element > Adapters > the Event Manager adapter > Configurations > a configuration profile for the adapter > Agents.

  2. Right-click an agent, then select Start Agent.

8.3.3 Stopping All Agents

To stop all agents:

  1. In the Explorer pane, expand the Administration root element > Adapters > the Event Manager adapter > Configurations > a configuration profile for the adapter.

  2. Right-click Agents, then select Stop All Agents.

8.3.4 Stopping a Single Agent

To stop an individual agent:

  1. In the Explorer pane, expand the Administration root element > Adapters > the Event Manager adapter > Configurations > a configuration profile for the adapter > Agents.
