If you suspect that an agent has a problem, poll the agent from within the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor web interface to display its output and forward the results to uptime Uptime Technical Support.

To poll an agent:

  1. In the GlobalScan or My Enterprise Infrastructure tab, click the name of the system on which the suspected problem agent is installed.
  2. In the Tree panel, click the Info tab and then click Poll Agent.

    If the agent is working properly, output similar to the output below should be displayed:
