Agent Tree General Tasks

Below are the general tasks you can perform when the agent tree displays:

  • Click the root domain icon () to select all domains and agents. When you select the root domain icon and then choose a task above the agent tree, a screen for configuring settings displays. On the screen, choose from the following general options:

    • Apply to All Agents: Applies settings to all existing agents and to any new agent added to an existing/future domain. Future domains are domains not yet created at the time you configured the settings.

    • Apply to Future Domains Only: Applies settings only to agents added to future domains. This option will not apply settings to new agents added to an existing domain.

  • To select multiple, adjacent domains or agents:

    • From the right panel, select the first domain, press and hold the SHIFT key, and then click the last domain or agent in the range.

  • To select a range of non-contiguous domains or agents, from the right panel, press and hold the CTRL key and then click the domains or agents that you want to select.
  • Search for any agent to manage by specifying the agent name in the Search for endpoints text box.

    A list of results appears in the agent tree. For more search options, click Advanced Search.

    Note:

    IPv6 or IPv4 addresses cannot be specified when searching for specific agents. Use Advanced Search to search by IPv4 or IPv6 address. For details, see Advanced Search Options.
