Activating Schedules on Agent Hosts

To activate a surveillance schedule on agent hosts, follow these steps:

1. On the System Manager screen, in the Monitored Hosts list, select the hosts to be activated. Their Status fields must show Available, Scheduled, or Running.

2. In the Schedules list, select the surveillance schedule you want to activate.

3. Select one of the following options to activate the schedule:

   • Click the Activate button.

   • Choose the Actions > Activate Schedule menu item.

   • Press Shift+F8.

   • Right-click (in the Monitored Hosts area) and select Activate Schedule from the menu.

4. If any of the agent hosts is already running a schedule, the Confirm Schedule Activation dialog box appears. Click Yes to override existing surveillance schedule, and No to cancel.

5. If the activation is successful, the Status column indicates Scheduled or Running, and the name of the downloaded surveillance schedule is displayed in the Schedule column of the selected hosts; otherwise, Error or No Agent Available is displayed in the Status column.

6. If Error is shown for a host, view the error messages on the Network Node Error tab for the host. For more information see “Network Node Screen” and “Errors Tab ” then check the status. For more information, see “Getting the Status of Agent Hosts”.

   If No Agent Available is shown for a host, see “No Agent Available” for troubleshooting options.
