Directly Assign Profiles to Agent Hosts

To ensure that an agent host always uses a certain profile you can assign it directly. This assignment will take precedence over the order in the profiles list. Each agent host can have one profile assigned. There are a few methods for doing this, as described below.

From the configuration profile

Go to the Assign Hosts section and choose one or more agent hosts. Each host you pick will be assigned the profile. Show meShow me

From the agent host

Go to your agents list and choose View Asset Details for any agent host. Then go to the Agent Summary section to see the profile assigned to the agent. Click Replace to change the profile. The profile will be updated at the next configuration download interval. Show meShow me

Configuration Assignment Status

The Configuration column on the Agents tab displays the configuration assignment status of your Cloud Agents. You can find your agents with one of the following status:

Pending Assignment

We show the configuration assignment status as Pending Assignment in the following two scenario:

— Cloud Agent is provisioned but configuration assignment is not initiated by the server. It means, the server hasn't yet found the configuration to be assigned to the Cloud Agent.

OR

— Configuration assignment is initiated but not completed yet. It means, the server has found the configuration for Cloud Agent and initiated the assignment but not completed.

To know the exact configuration assignment status, you can hover over the Pending Assignment in the Configuration column.

Pending Download

The configuration assignment status is displayed as Pending Download when the configuration assignment is completed by the server but Cloud Agent has not downloaded the configuration yet. To know the configuration assigned by server, hover over the Pending Download in the Configuration column.

Configuration Download complete

When the configuration assignment is complete from the server side and the Cloud Agent has downloaded the assignment, the assigned configuration name is displayed in bold and black font. For example, CA_Configuration.

New Configuration Assignment Initiated from UI

When you assign a new configuration from the user interface, but the assignment is not complete yet, then we display the name of the old configuration downloaded by the Cloud Agent in black and bold font.

To know the exact configuration assignment status, you can hover over the Configuration Name in the Configuration column.

New Assignment Complete

We have the following two scenarios when you change the configuration from the Cloud Agent user interface, and the new configuration assignment is complete:

— When you assign the same configuration as the old one downloaded by Cloud Agent, the old configuration name is displayed in bold and black font.

AND

— When you assign a different configuration to Cloud Agent from user interface, the old configuration name is displayed in blue and italic font. Hover over this old configuration name to see the newly assigned configuration.
