The following resource URI can be used to retrieve agent information associated with a specific device
identified by <DEVICE_ID>:

The attributes associated with the agent information are described in the following table.
Attribute Name

The name of the agent.
Description
The description of the agent.
Version
The version of the agent.
Status
The latest status reported by the agent.

DeviceId

Note: In the case of the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) agent, the value of the URL is a
concatenated list of various URLs separated by the comma ‘,’ character. The consumer of this API will
have to tokenize this output and attempt a web connection to each of the URLs to determine which URL
is responsive before surfacing the URL to the actual consumer. The following is an example of the URL
for OMSA as returned in the REST XML payload.
