9.2 Agent Health

The Agent Health dashboard displays the health status of Change Guardian agents, which are associated with a stand-alone Change Guardian server. Using the dashboard, you can troubleshoot if an agent is down or does not send events to the server.

The heartbeat of Change Guardian Agent for Windows (Polling Interval) and Change Guardian Agent for UNIX (Heartbeat) determines the frequency at which agents send a heartbeat to the Change Guardian server.

Based on the heartbeat of agents, the status of agents is categorized as below:

  • Offline: Agents that have missed a heartbeat goes to the offline state until the next heartbeat.

  • Warning: Agents are in the warning state when they have a heartbeat but are not able to send events to the Change Guardian server.

    Click on the agent to view the diagnosis information.

  • Online: Agents have a heartbeat and are sending events to the server.
