agentId

The agentId attribute provides a short identifier (maximum length of 4 alphanumeric characters) for the WebSphere® Message Broker Monitoring agent.

You must assign a unique agent ID to each agent in the following circumstances:

• You are running more than one WebSphere Message Broker Monitoring agent on the same system.
• You are running more than one monitored broker with the same name on different systems.

Unique agent IDs differentiate the broker-managed system names at the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server, so that Tivoli Enterprise Portal presents them correctly.

This attribute is not set by default. To set it, supply an alphanumeric character string with no spaces. The value is used to create a unique managed system name.
