Identity Manager Data Governance Edition 9.1.1

You should regularly check the status of your managed hosts to ensure that the system is working properly. You can see the state of your deployment through the Managed hosts view and Agents view.

Verifying managed host system status

When you first deploy a managed host it takes a few minutes for the agent to start collecting data. As the status changes, a regular refresh allows you to see the changes. You can also use this status to track the progress whenever you add or remove an agent.

A managed host's status is displayed on the Managed hosts view.

Table 25: Managed host status
Status	Description
Agent Issue	One or more agents for this managed host are in an error state. The Status Detail column on the Agents view may contain additional information to identify the problem. NOTE: For remote managed hosts, if there is an issue with any of its agents, you see a status of "Agent Issue."
Agent Out of Disk Space	An agent for this managed host is out of free disk space. For more information, see Checking the agent status.
Agent Registration Failed	An error occurred while an agent was attempting to register with the server.
Agent Unregistered	An agent for this managed host has unregistered. Ensure that the agent service is running, and that the computer hosting the agent is online.
Agent Update Required	An unsupported agent version has attempted to register with the server. The agents on the managed host must be upgraded.

The Status Detail column on the Agents view may contain additional information, including the name of the deployment that is already using this agent.

Waiting for Agent Connection	The managed host has been configured and is waiting for an agent to register. If a managed host stays in this state for a long time, it could indicate a communications issue between the agent and the server.

Determining the state of the data

For each managed host, use the Managed hosts view to determine the state of the data. Errors should be addressed immediately, in order to ensure accurate data from the managed host being scanned. The following table outlines the different states your data can have.

Table 26: Data states
State	Description
A scanning error has occurred	There has been an error with one of the scanners. Data is incomplete, so you should determine what the issue is. Ensure that the managed host is available on the network, and confirm that the agent’s service account has adequate access to the managed host.
Data available	The agent has successfully completed scanning security information for the managed host.
Please use Agents View to see status data for multiple agents	On multi-agent hosts, this message indicates that the status of the data is not available for all of the agents. Open the Agents view to see the status of the data for each individual agent assigned to the selected managed host.
Scanning	The agent is performing a full scan of security information. Queries for information at this time may be incomplete.
No managed paths configured	There are no managed paths specified and therefore scanning cannot be performed on the managed host.
Waiting for scanning to start	The agent is ready to scan when the next scheduled scan is triggered.
Waiting for scanning status	The agent is not yet ready to start scanning.

Checking the agent status

For security indexing and resource activity tracking to function as expected, the agent must have a status of Managed. You can see the status of an agent in the Agents view. Also, if the status of a managed host is anything other than Managed, check the host's agents' status to determine where the issue lies.

Note: During deployment, the state changes quickly, and a regular refresh allows you to see the changes.

Table 27: Agent states
Agent states	Description
Agent host belongs to another deployment	An agent already resides on this server that belongs to another Data Governance Edition deployment. See the Status Detail column for additional information, including the name of the deployment that is already using this agent.
Agent Out Of Disk Space	The hard disk of the agent's working directory dropped below 2GB. NOTE: This condition causes the agent to shutdown with an error. This is a safeguard to prevent disruption of other services hosted on the computer, allowing you time to add a volume or reallocate space. See Agent Shutdown Because of Error.
Agent Shutdown Because of Error	The agent may shut down with error for the following reasons: Agent scanning does not progress after two hours. There is not enough free disk space on the agent (minimum 2GB). See Agent Out Of Disk Space. NOTE: To determine if low space on the host volume was the cause, check the Agent Events view or agent logs. An error occurred while the agent attempted to open an NTFS security database to perform a sync.
