Node agent server settings

Use this page to view information about and to configure a node agent. A node agent coordinates administrative requests and event notifications among servers on a machine. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a WebSphere® Application Server, Network Deployment environment.

To view this administrative console page, click System administration > Node agents > node_agent.

A node agent must be started on each node for the deployment manager node to collect and control servers that are configured on that node. If you use configuration synchronization support, a node agent coordinates with the deployment manager server to synchronize the configuration data of the node with the master copy that the deployment manager manages.

You must initially start a node agent outside the administrative console. For information on how to initially start a node agent, see the addNode command and the startNode command.

The Runtime tab displays only when a node agent runs.
