Managing agents

Use Admin Studio to manage agents to debug and trace any problems with agent activity. You can also start, stop, restart, or trace agents.

You can view a list of all the available agents across the whole cluster, on the current node, or on a remote node. You can check the status of an agent, see the number of running or stopped agents on a specific node, check the nodes on which the specific agent is running, or see the exception details for agents. You can also enable sending notifications on agent failure and specify the email address to which the notification is sent.

To access the Agent Management landing page and view the list of agents and the configuration of email notifications on agent failure, you must have the PegaRULES:SysOpsObserver role. To perform all available actions on agents, for example, to start or stop an agent, and configure email notifications on agent failure, you must also have the PegaRULES:SysOpsAdministrator role.
