Delete an Adaptive Response Agent

Use the following procedure to delete an existing agent from a PacketShaper or a PolicyCenter configuration:

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a unit or draft configuration in the Configurations window. Then select the Setup tab from the right pane of this window, and proceed to step 2 of the procedure below.

1. Click the setup tab.

2. Choose adaptive response from the Choose Setup Page list, or click the Adaptive Response Settings link.

3. Click the delete checkbox beside the agent you want to delete, then click apply changes.

Notes: To restore the default set of agents, use the agent createdefaults CLI command. You will not be able to permanently delete an agent from a PolicyCenter configuration if that configuration inherits the agent from its parent. Adaptive response agents can only be deleted from the configuration on which they were created.

Temporarily Disable an Agent

If you do not want to permanently delete an agent, you may instead turn the agent off. A disabled agent no longer measures its target or reports values, but the agent still retains its current values and settings.

To temporarily disable an agent:

1. Click the setup tab.

2. From the Choose Setup Page list, select adaptive response, or click the Adaptive Response Settings link.

3. Click the checkboxes in the Agent On column (removing the checkmark) beside the agent you want to disable, then click apply changes.

To reenable an agent that has been turned off,

1. Click the setup tab.

2. From the Choose Setup Page list, select adaptive response, or click the Adaptive Response Settings link.

3. Click the checkboxes in the Agent On column (adding the checkmark) beside the agent you want to reenable, then click apply changes.
