Stopping and deleting agents

 

 

 

Stopping an agent from running

You can stop the agent process running in the background (whether the agent is ingesting or not).

 

  Important

 

  • Stopping the agent process would require it to be restarted either through double-clicking the agent jar file or from the command line before that agent would be able to ingest again.

  • Once you stop the agent process, you will no longer be able to access the Agent Management page on your local host.

 

 

 

To stop the agent process:

Do either of the following:

  • From the command prompt, use CTRL-C.

  • Close the command prompt window.

Deleting an agent from the dashboard

  Note

 

You can delete an agent from the configuration dashboard after it has been off for a certain period of time (currently after two hours).

 

 

 

Do either of the following to delete an agent:

  • On the dashboard, under Content Ingest Agents, click Details for the agent that you want to delete, click Delete Agent, and then click OK to confirm.

  • On the dashboard, click an agent name to display the Manage Ingest Agent page, click Delete Agent on the right-hand side of the agent details section, and then click OK to confirm.
