Adaptive Response Agents Overview

Adaptive response agents monitor your PacketShaper unit, network health, hosts, and applications, returning values and evaluating them against their predefined green and red performance thresholds. If there is a problem, the agent will send information about the situation to two different places: an incident report and an action file.

PacketWise has a set of agents that are preconfigured and enabled, or you can define your own agents based on a variety of templates. Click any of the adaptive response agent template names below for additional information on that template, including default thresholds, parameters, and action file variables.
