{{% product-name %}} tracks agents that send heartbeats through the Telegraf
heartbeat output plugin.
Each heartbeat includes a unique instance_id (also called "agent ID") so
Controller can distinguish one agent from another.
- {{% product-name %}} automatically creates agents the first time a heartbeat arrives from a unique agent.
- Click the More button ({{% icon "tc-more" %}}) in the agent list and select View Details to see information and reporting history for an agent.
- Reporting rules define how long an agent can go without sending a heartbeat before {{% product-name "short" %}} marks it as Not Reporting. They can also automatically delete agents that haven't reported in a specified amount of time.
- You can assign a reporting rule from the agent list or an agent details page.
