## Starting and Stopping Monitoring Agents

You can control agent activity to temporarily stop the monitoring and diagnostic activity from a host. In addition, if a device is being tested, or if faults are being injected into a device intentionally, you can temporarily stop notifications for a specified device. When you disable a specific agent, you stop that agent, but other agents continue to monitor devices.

Note -

The monitoring function is turned on by default.

To start or stop agents:

1. Go to the Sun Web Console and click Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment.
2. Click Administration > General Maintenance > Start or Stop Agents.

The Start or Stop Agents page is displayed.

3. Depending on the agent's current state, click the Start or Stop check box.
4. Click Update Agents State.

Note -

To control monitoring for specific devices, see Starting and Stopping Monitoring on a Device.
