Product overview


PATROL for Agent High Availability empowers TrueSight customers by allowing them to assign data collection responsibilities to a pair of PATROL Agents. If the primary PATROL Agent (Primary) becomes unreachable, the partnered PATROL Agent (Secondary) is automatically configured to connect to TrueSight and resume the collection duties of the failed agent. Upon the Primary Agent regaining connectivity, it resumes its duties, and the Secondary Agent disconnects from TrueSight.

This Knowledge Module (KM) is purposefully designed to run on a PATROL Agent outside of the identified failover pairs. This setup enables a single "PATROL for Failover" agent to efficiently support any number of PATROL Agent pairs.

This Monitoring Agent can be paired with another agent, providing monitor-the-monitor redundancy if required.
