Each Identity Agent must be added to a group before the SMS can retrieve events. Agents in a group can also be used for redundancy.
Procedure
- Click Admin on the SMS toolbar, and then expand User Id IP Correlation in the navigation pane.
- Click Identity Agent Groups.
- Create an agent group by opening the Identity Agents Groups tab and clicking New.
- Specify the following information of the Identity Agent group:
- Name of the agent group.
- Domain name. This information gets automatically retrieved from the identity agent. All agents in a single group must belong to the same domain.
- (Optional) Description or comments about the agent group.
- Number of retries before the SMS attempts to contact the next agent in the group.
- Number of seconds the SMS waits for a connection to the agent.
- Number of seconds the SMS waits for a failed connection.
- In the Identity Agents area, select from the available Identity
Agents to add to the group.
Up to four agents can be added to a group. Use the Up and Down arrows to reorder the priority of the agents. The SMS attempts a connection to only one agent at a time, beginning with the first one in the list.
- Click
OK.
The Identity Agent group is added to the Identity Agent Group table. Click Show References to see which devices reference the group.
