Create a proxy agent cluster

Create a cluster of agents on multiple proxy servers to monitor services external to the host server. Creating a cluster of agents enables you to assign that cluster to multiple policies instead of having to assign the agents individually to every policy.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

A proxy agent cluster monitors the CIs that match the filter specified on the policy's Monitored CIs tab.

A proxy agent cluster must contain at least one agent. All of the cluster's agents monitor the CIs specified in its assigned policy. No special configuration is necessary on the policy level to enable proxy cluster monitoring.

The default CPU threshold value when working with proxy agent clusters is 80%. You can modify this value in the proxy_cpu_percentage_limit property.
