Creating or Deleting Agent Instances
This section describes the following commands:
•“create” on page 91
•“delete” on page 95
create
The create command produces one or more vFoglight agent instances.
You can create an agent instance after deploying the agent package on the vFoglight
Management Server. To create an agent instance that collects data, you first create the
agent instance, activate it, and then start the data collection for that agent instance.
Similarly, when you want to remove an agent instance, use a reverse order of actions:
first stop the agent instance, deactivate it, and then delete it.
For information on how to deploy an agent package using the
fglcmd interface, see
“deploy” on page 86; for information on how to delete agent instances, see “delete” on
page 95.
