Identifying failed agents

A source of discovery failure can be agents that terminate unexpectedly during discovery. Use the Agents Status section to determine whether any agents terminated unexpectedly.

About this task

To use the Agents Status section to determine whether any discovery agents are not running correctly, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Click the Discovery icon and select Network Discovery Status.
  2. Within Network Discovery Status, click the Agents Status tab.
  3. Ensure that the Phases drop-down list above the upper Agents table is set to All Phases.
    The upper Agents table now displays all agents that started so far in this discovery.
  4. Click the State column in the upper Agents table so that the agents are ordered in descending order of State.
    The agents now appear in the table in alphabetical order of status.
  5. Any agents that terminated unexpectedly are at the top of the table and have the status Died.

What to do next

Further investigation is required to determine why this agent terminated unexpectedly.
