Node agent server settings

Use this page to view information about and configure a node agent. A node agent coordinates administrative requests and event notifications among servers on a machine. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a Network Deployment environment.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administraton > Node Agents > node_agent_name.

The Configuration tab provides editable fields and the Runtime tab provides read-only information. The Runtime tab is available only when the node agent server is running.

A node agent must be started on each node in order for the deployment manager node to be able to collect and control servers configured on that node. If you use configuration synchronization support, a node agent coordinates with the deployment manager server to synchronize the node's configuration data with the master copy managed by the deployment manager.
