Agent statuses come from the Telegraf heartbeat output plugin and are sent with each heartbeat request. The plugin reports an ok status.

[!Note] A future Telegraf release will let you configure logic that sets the status value. {{% product-name %}} also applies reporting rules to detect stale agents. If an agent does not send a heartbeat within the rule's threshold, Controller marks the agent as Not Reporting until it resumes sending heartbeats.

View an agent's status

1. In {{% product-name %}}, go to Agents.
2. Check the Status column for each agent.
3. To see more details, click the More button ({{% icon "tc-more" %}}) and select View Details.
4. The details page shows the reported status, reporting rule assignment, and the time of the last heartbeat.
