Agent inventory and status retrieval via Desktop Client or CLI - Workload Automation DE

Products

• ESP dSeries Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Review agent utilization to identify obsolete agents for decommissioning. This process includes retrieving agent names, status (Active, Inactive, or Quiesced), and total agent counts within a specific environment.

Environment

Product: Workload Automation DE (dSeries)

Component: Desktop Client / CLI

Version: All Versions

Resolution

Agent details and counts are available through the Desktop Client or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Desktop Client Method

• Detailed Inventory: Navigate to Admin Perspective > Agent Inventory. This view displays agent names, current status, and associated plugins.
• Total Count Dashboard: Navigate to Monitor Perspective > System Monitor View > System Dashboard.
• Status Summary: The Summary Monitor (far right pane) includes a section "Agents defined in agent inventory" showing counts by Active, Inactive, or Quiesced states.

CLI Method Execute these commands within the Desktop CLI perspective:

• LISTAGENT: Displays a list of all defined agents.
• COUNTAGENTS: Returns the number of agents based on criteria.

No single CLI command provides the grand total of all agents. To calculate the total agent count, run COUNTAGENTS for ACTIVE, INACTIVE, and QUIESCED statuses separately, then sum the results.

To see a full list of available CLI commands, execute the HELP command within the Desktop CLI perspective.
