Generating and viewing iSeries reports by executing agent actions
When you execute an agent action, it is issued from your local console, but executed on the computer where the PATROL Agent is installed. Agent actions are also called menu commands in PATROL. All Knowledge Module (KM) menu commands are not exposed in Infrastructure Management.
- In the Show Monitors page, in the Tools Menu column of a monitor, click the blue wrench icon
- Click Agent Actions, and select an agent action.
If any input is required for the agent action, a dialog box is displayed. You must provide the values that are required for the action to be executed.
A confirmation message is displayed after the agent action is executed.
