Linux/Unix Resource
From OpsWise Documentation Wiki

Overview
The Linux/Unix agent resource provides information about a Linux or Unix agent running on a Linux or Unix platform. To run a Linux/Unix task, you need a OpsWise Automation Center Linux/Unix agent installed and running on the target machine.
Linux/Unix Agent Definition
The resource definition provides the information necessary for the scheduler to locate and communicate with the machine where the OpsWise Automation Center agent resides. OpsWise Automation Center creates this record automatically when the agent connects with the core processor.
To view an agent resource, select the type you want to view from the Resources section of the navigation pane. A list displays showing all the registered agents of the type you selected. Shown below is a Linux/Unix agent definition.
You can change any of the following details on the record by entering the change and clicking Update:
- Heartbeat interval
- Log level
- Credentials
See the field descriptions below for details about those fields.
Linux/Unix Resource Field Descriptions
The table below describes the fields, buttons, and tabs on the Linux/Unix Agent resource screen.
| Field Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Name | Required. Name used within OpsWise Automation Center to identify this resource. Up to 40 alphanumerics. It is the user’s responsibility to develop a workable naming scheme for resources. | |
| Member of Groups | User-defined. Allows you to select one or more Opswise groups that this resource definition belongs to. Click on the lock icon to unlock the field and select groups. | |
| Agent ID | Required. The name of the communications server message queue. OpsWise Automation Center uses the communications server for communications between the core scheduler and OpsWise Automation Center agents. This name must match the name specified in the agent configuration file and must be unique within the OpsWise Automation Center communications network. | |
| Version | System-supplied. Version number of the agent program. | |
| Host Name | System-supplied.. The IP address or domain/name of the host machine where the agent resides. | |
| Build ID | System-supplied, provided by the agent. The build ID of the OpsWise Automation Center agent. | |
| IP Address | System-supplied.. The TCP/IP address of the machine where the agent is running. | |
| Build Date | System-supplied, provided by the agent. The date the agent program was last built. | |
| PID | System-supplied, provided by the agent. Process ID of the agent. | |
| Operating System | System-supplied. The operating system where the agent is running. | |
| Started Date | System-supplied. The date/timestamp when the agent was last started.. | |
| Operating System Release | System-supplied. Release information for the operating system where the agent is running. | |
| Status | System-supplied. The status of the agent. | |
| Heartbeat Interval | User-modifiable. The heartbeat interval in seconds. The heartbeat is a status message sent from the agent to the core processor. | |
| Credentials | Optional; user-defined. The login credentials OpsWise Automation Center will use to access the remote machine. If the task provides credentials, those override credentials provided in the resource. See Credentials. | |
| Last Heartbeat | System-supplied. The date and time of the last heartbeat received from this agent. | |
| Log Level | User-modifiable. The level of logging the agent should perform. Options:
|
|
| CPU Load | System-supplied.. The current CPU load, as a percent, of the agent machine. For example, 1 means 1% currently utilized. | |
| CPU | System-supplied. Information about the CPU of the agent machine. | |
| Update button | Saves updates to the record. | |
| Delete button | Deletes the current record. | |
| Linux/Unix Agent Cluster Relations tab | Provides a list of agent clusters that this agent belongs to, if any. See Configuring Agent Clusters. | |
