View Flex Agent details in the agent dashboard
If you use the Flex Agent to deploy and manage your agents, the agent dashboard surfaces key details about each Flex-managed agent alongside your other agent health data. This view is read-only. To take action on Flex-managed agents, such as updating, pinning, or controlling attachment, use the Flex Agent CLI.
Before you begin
If using role-based access control, a role with the Organization edit action is required.
If using organization users and groups, the Organization RulesAdmin role is required.
The Flex Agent must be installed and communicating with Contrast. See Flex Agent workflows.
Steps
Open the agent dashboard:
Northstar: From the left navigation, under Administration, select Agent management.
Contrast: From the header, select Administration and then select Agent Management.
Identify Flex-managed agents in the list. Agents deployed and managed by the Flex Agent display the Flex icon next to their Internal agent ID.
View these Flex-specific details for each Flex-managed agent:
Application: The name of the instrumented application the Flex Agent is detected and attached to
Condition: The state of the agent. Overridden means a setting has multiple values and one takes precedence, so remove the extra values, and Outdated means a later version of the agent is available, so consider upgrading.
Agent key: A value that authenticates the agent.
Language agent version: The version of the language-specific agent
Version: The agent version
Last active: The last time the agent sent data to Contrast
Host: The hostname of the server where the Flex Agent is installed
Server: The name of the server associated with an application
To filter the dashboard to show only Flex-managed agents, select Filters at the top of the list, then under Managed by, select Flex Agent.
Select Apply.
Note
The agent dashboard displays read-only information about your Flex-managed agents. Use the Flex Agent CLI to update agent versions, pin a specific agent version, or control which processes the Flex Agent attaches to.
