Agent Cache monitoring

The Agent Cache is a component that serves Server Agent installation files during the Agent deployment process. The Agent Cache component caches the most recent version of the SA Agent. When SA installs the agent on servers in order to manage them, it obtains the agent installation binary file from the Agent Cache component.

Monitoring processes for the Agent Cache

In all configurations, the Agent Cache component has a single running process.

On Solaris or Linux, execute the command on the server running the Gateway (in an SA core and an Satellite):

# ps auxwww | grep -v grep | grep agentcache

Running this command should produce output similar to the following output:

root  22288  0.5  0.1  15920  4464  ?  S  19:55  0:08  /opt/opsware/bin/

python /opt/opsware/agentcache/AgentCache.pyc -d /var/opt/opsware/agent_installers -p 8081 -b
