Communicating with host agents

Information tab. The current status of a host agent is displayed as Requested when you seek an update
from the host agent (for example, when it is reinstalled). The status changes to Received after XP
Performance Advisor retrieves the requested information from the host agent. When host agents are
first installed on the hosts, their current status is displayed as Received.
