## Running Agents Manually

Although diagnostic agents are normally run automatically from the `cron` facility, the Run Agent function enables you to run agents manually.

To run agents manually:

1. Go to the Sun Web Console and click Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment.
2. Click Administration > System Utilities > Run Agent.
3. Select a host from the Select Host list.
4. If you want to audit all devices, select Audit All Devices.

The agent is forced to rediscover and perform a version probe on all monitored devices.

5. If you want to ignore email maximums previously set, select Ignore Email Maximums.

The system overrides current specifications and sends all events, even if they were recently generated.

See Setting Configuration Options for information on setting the maximum number of email messages that will be sent within an 8-hour period about a specific event. The default is no maximum.

You can also clear the specified maximum number of email messages as described in Adding an Email or Pager Notification Address.

6. After you have selected or deselected the options, click Run.

A summary report displays the status of all the components that are running.
