OneAgent with Multiple Environments

Babar_Qayyum — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 07:12:49 GMT

Dears,

Is it possible to have multiple environments for OneAgent?

The use case is that we have a plan to move monitored hosts from one Cluster to another Cluster, and the agent should connect to the available Cluster on that location.

Regards,

Babar

No you cannot. But :

- you can dynamically switch OneAgent from one to the other environment using oneagentctl

- you can leverage remote environments to get data from one environment to the other

- you can use cross-environment transactions to navigate between environments when troubleshooting a problem spanning 2 or more environments

Hope this helps

Hello @Radoslaw S.

Thank you for your comments.

How to cover the Solaris hosts with this utility (maximum hosts in our case)?

Can you share the documentation link related to the cross-environment transactions?

Is the point # 2 and point # 3 for the same (cross-environment transactions) in your comments?

Regards,

Babar

Hello @Radoslaw S.

Thank you for providing the requested information.

Do we have a way to overcome on SUN Solaris limitations related to the oneagentctl?
