Agent-Console relationship

The PATROL Agent can manage several aspects of its relationship with various types of PATROL consoles and other utilities. Following are some of the aspects:

• Types of consoles that connect to the agent
• Types of PEM messages the agent sends to the PEM Console
• Where UNIX applications display their information
• How the agent behaves if no consoles connect to it
• Who can connect to the agent

This section details how to manage agent-console relationship using variables.

• Setting the maximum number of remote (agent-to-agent) sessions
• Displaying and logging PEM connection messages
• Changing the UNIX display environment
• Controlling the display of messages in the system output window
• Setting the agent to run without a console connection
• Connecting to systems having multiple network cards
