Event Agent

The Event Agent is a lightweight solution that provides all Event Management functions with very little overhead. Servers running the Event Agent do not have a Management Database or the administrative GUI. The agent gets Event policy from an Event Manager server or a local DSB file.

When you install the Event Agent, you indicate whether to load the policies from a local DSB file or from a specific remote Event Manager. When you start the Event Agent or run opreload, message records and actions are copied from the local DSB file or the specified Event Manager, and an in-memory version is created on the agent computer.
