NOTE
It can take up to six minutes for any status changes that you make in the Agent Management Console to appear in the TDP Health Monitoring Dashboard.
The connection (heartbeat) between the TDP and an Agent is checked automatically every five minutes. If the TDP doesn't receive a heartbeat message for more than five minutes, the platform assumes that the Agent is offline.
To view the Tetra Agents Health Monitoring Dashboard, do the following:
- Sign in to the TDP. Make sure that you use an Administrator account.
- In the left navigation menu, choose Health Monitoring. The Health Monitoring Dashboard appears.
- Select the Agents tab. The Agents Health Monitoring Dashboard appears.
Search and Filter Options
To search for a specific Agent, enter either an Agent’s name or unique identifier (UID) in the upper left search box.
To filter by status, select one of the health status types listed next to Filter by Status.
