Unused agents run in background
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
The Update PegaRULES database table statistics agent and the Collect PegaRULES database blob size statistics agent have been added to support future development. These agents run in the background, but they do not do anything. You can, but do not need to, disable them from the Edit Agent Schedule landing page.
For more information, see Agent Schedule form - Completing the Schedule tab.

If you use the default prconfig.xml file that is included with Pega® Platform, and you have not removed the PegaDATA connection settings, no action is required. If you use a custom prconfig.xml file, for example, for running tests, ensure that the database connection settings for PegaDATA are not blank.
