Linux OS

  1. Log in to the node where the agent is installed as user root using SSH through a cross-platform remote access tool (such as PuTTY).
  2. Run the following command to view the running status of the agent program:

    service audit_agent status

    If the following information is displayed, the agent is running properly: 
    audit agent is running.

Table 1 Agent statuses

Status

Description

Enabled

The agent is running.

Disabled

The agent is disabled. To enable it, click Enable in the Operation column.

NOTE:

If the CPU usage of an agent is too high, the agent will hibernate and its status will changed to Disabled. In this case, check whether the CPU usage exceeds the threshold. Modify the threshold or expand the memory. If the CPU usage of a disabled agent falls below the threshold, the agent will automatically restart.

Hibernating

After an agent is added, its initial running status is Hibernating.
