8.0 Configuring Agent Manager

You typically deploy agents and configure Agent Manager immediately after installation. However, sometimes you must reconfigure Agent Manager to fine‑tune your implementation. This chapter covers configuration tasks and customization tasks to refine Agent Manager for your environment. For more information about the initial configuration of Agent Manager, see the Installation Guide for NetIQ Agent Manager.

This chapter does not cover configuration tasks relating to agents, such as adding and deleting agents or modifying their properties. For more information about configuring agents, see Section 6.0, Administering Agents.

You can also customize Agent Manager by modifying existing data collection rules or creating new rules specifically suited for your environment.
