Viewing a list of TEA Agents
A BMC Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent is a remote agent that runs Execution Plans as part of an Agent Group. For information about installing and registering TEA Agents, see Performing-the-TEA-Agent-installation.
In the BMC Application Performance Management Console, the list of TEA Agents displays the status and properties of registered Agents.
To view a list of TEA Agents
In the BMC Application Performance Management Console, click the Synthetic tab, then click TEA Agents. A list of registered Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agents is displayed.
To sort the list based on a specific column, click the relevant column heading. To sort in reverse order, click the column heading again.
The following table describes the contents of the Transaction Execution Adapter Agents table:
Description of Transaction Execution Adapter Agents table
Column | Description |
|---|---|
Status | Displays the status of TEA Agent, according to the TEA Agent heartbeat received by the BMC Synthetic End User Experience Monitoring plug-in:
To filter by status, select an option from the Status list. |
Heartbeat | Time and date of the last heartbeat received by the plug-in. (Version 2.5.01) Hover over the heartbeat time to see the TEA Agent registration time and date. |
Agent Name | Name of the Agent. Hover over the name to see the Agent ID number, which is used in filters and log files. To filter by Agent name, type a value in the column heading. |
(Version 2.5.00) FQDN | Fully qualified domain name of the host computer To filter by FQDN name, type a value in the column heading. |
(Version 2.5.01) | Name of the host computer To filter by host name, type a value in the column heading. |
Agent Group | Name of the Agent Group to which the TEA Agent belongs To filter by Agent Group, type a value in the column heading. |
(Version 2.5.00) | Date the Agent was registered with the synthetic plug-in |
(Version 2.5.01) | Percentage of transactions that were rejected over the last 15 minutes, and the number of rejected transactions over the total number of transactions. For example, the result 50% 20/40 means that 20 out of 40 transactions (that is, 50%) were not collected over the last 15 minutes. The result 0% 0/60 means that of the 60 transactions that were collected, none of them were rejected. If the TEA Agent is not active, the result is 0/0. This column provides self-monitoring statistics to ensure that the Agent is functioning as expected. A typical cause of rejected transactions is system clocks that are not synchronized. For information about synchronizing computer times, see Setting-the-system-time. |
After you open the Transaction Execution Adapter Agents window, click Refresh to get the latest results.
To delete a TEA Agent from the list (version 2.5.01)

- (Optional) From the Status column, select Stale.
- From the shortcut menu of the stale Agent that you want to delete, select Delete TEA Agent.
- Click OK to confirm the deletion.
