How Event Agents Are Implemented

Usually one Event Manager provides message records and actions for several Event Agents. A typical implementation consists of a manager on a Windows server and agents on UNIX/Linux servers.

Setting up a manager and agents involves the following tasks:

1. Install the full Event Management on a Windows server. Select the installation wizard for CA NSM.
2. Install the agent on UNIX/Linux servers. Select the installation wizard for Event Agents.
3. Verify the installation.
4. Add the agent machines to the administrative configuration on the manager server.
5. Create message records and actions on the manager server for the remote agents.
6. Activate the message records and actions on the agent machines.
