Selecting Agents in the Data Governance navigation view populates the Agents result list with all the Data Governance agents deployed in the current Data Governance Edition deployment. Selecting this node also displays the Agents view in the right pane which lists all the agents, including their current status, agent activity and performance.
The following table outlines the default information displayed for each agent deployed in your Data Governance Edition deployment.
