Monitoring and
Resolving ESX Agent Issues
With the ESX Agent
Manager API, you can obtain status and state data about all the ESX agencies
that a solution creates. The status of an ESX agency reflects the status of all
the ESX agents that are running in the ESX agency.
Solutions can only access data
about ESX agencies that they create. A solution cannot access the data of ESX
agencies that other solutions create on the same host.
You can use ESX Agent Manager to
monitor and track many of the issues that can occur when you deploy ESX agent
virtual machines. ESX Agent Manager handles updates to the deployment
specifications of ESX agent virtual machines. ESX Agent Manager responds to
changes in the
instance in which it runs. If ESX Agent Manager encounters a conflict and
cannot satisfy the requirements of an update to a deployment specification, it
reports the conflict to the solution as an issue and shows the issue in the ESX
Agent Manager user interface.
The issues that the ESX Agent
Manager monitors relate to the goal state and status of ESX agencies and
agents. If ESX Agent Manager encounters an issue, it sets the status of the ESX
agency or agent to red and alerts the solution about the issue. ESX Agent
Manager can resolve certain issues if you click the vertical ellipsis icon and
then select
Resolve
Issues
in the ESX Agent Manager user interface.
