Overview

To orchestrate managed agent configuration, provisioning, monitoring, and management server registration, you create and configure management services.

Each management service includes a set of configuration options that can subsequently be provisioned to endpoints, applying all of the service’s details to those endpoints.

Types of Management Services

Agent Management Service - Details

Each agent management service can define some or all of the following:

Managed Agent

• A specified managed agent of a specified management tool version.
• Pro-active management (watchdog) settings for the managed agent.
• Resource control (throttling and failure alert) settings for the managed agent.
• Settings specific to the management tool (e.g., connection parameters to its management server) or configuration file.

Management Server Plugin (for Server-to-Endpoint Tools)

A plugin and associated settings executed on the management server upon service provisioning, removal, or relevant configuration change, to perform per-endpoint server-side tasks such as:

• Register the managed agent with the management server, and unregister upon removal.
• Associate the endpoint with a server policy group.
• Schedule endpoint polls or backups.
• Configure the server’s host file to recognize the managed agent by hostname.

Health Monitoring

• One or more health monitoring test scripts and associated settings, to be periodically executed on the endpoint.

JetPatch Connector Management Service -Details

Each JetPatch Connector management service defines the following:

• Connector version (including build).
• Endpoint-level throttling settings.
• Location on the endpoint for installing the connector.

Provisioning

Connector provisioning

• Can be provisioned manually to endpoints. It is also automatically provisioned when a managed agent is provisioned to an endpoint that does not yet have the connector. 
• Management service selection for automatic provisioning is configurable by policy.

Agent management service provisioning

• Can be automatically done by policy (so that new VMs or cloud instances are immediately governed according to organizational policy), or can be manually provisioned to endpoints.
