Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Notice that none of the agents are initially selected. Therefore, you select the agents you want (or just click Select All
to select all of them) and then click the Parameters tab. This brings up a long list of agent properties you can change, as
shown in Figure
3-4
. Scroll down to the
UploadInterval
parameter and enter a value in minutes for how frequently you
want the agents to upload. In Figure
3-4
, the value is set to upload every 5 minutes (from the default of 15 minutes).

Changing the
UploadInterval
parameter
You could schedule this to occur at a later time (for example, an allocated maintenance time) by using the
Schedule tab. However, if you don't need to schedule this job to run later, you can simply click Submit. You are then
returned to the Agents page and provided with an informational message that the job has been submitted, along with
a link to check progress of the job.
Using an Agent's Home Page
From the Agents page just described, you can go to the home page for a specific agent, by clicking the agent name.
(You can also reach an agent's home page by selecting the agent from the All Targets page.) The OMS makes a
connection to the agent and displays a variety of more-detailed information for that specific agent, including the
following:
Summary region
: This provides details such as the agent's availability and status. Of
particular interest in this region is the list indicating which management plug-ins are
deployed in this agent, as shown in Figure
3-5
. (Remember, agents contain plug-ins only
for targets that are present on the machine, so it can be useful to see which plug-ins are
deployed.)
