Forum for Agents

[Russ Todd]

Is there a forum for Windows and Linux agents?

[Rick Garland]

Seems to me that this forum discusses agents for HPUX, Linux, oh, and windows.

What kind of question(s) you have?

[Russ Todd]

th agents that monitor the NIC cards indicate a major failure when the card has nothing connected to it. In windows this can be corrected by disabling the NIC card. How to do this in Linux? better yet, is there a way to indicate to the agent to ignore this particular error condition?

[Rob Buxton]

Unfortunately you cannot tell the Agent to ignore it.

I don't know how to disable the device under Linux, or even if it's possible.

A workaround, get hold of a loopback connector and put one of those in. You sometimes get them with Servers.
That does enough to let the Agent know the card is okay.

Russ, do you see this NIC in "ifconfig" command output? (e.g. - is it UP?)
