Overview
The common problems with Domino agents
Not all agents are created equal. It's not uncommon to see buggy code, bad security settings or inappropriate run times for agents. Poorly written or wrongly scheduled agents can slow down or crash your servers, leave a mess of conflicts or even destroy data. Unfortunately, the native Domino tools for agent troubleshooting make it difficult—and sometimes impossible—to get essential problem-solving information. For example, the built-in Agent Manager will only let you see the agents that run today—that's not much help if an agent crashed the server the night before.
Ytria agentEZ is the solution for better Domino agent management, here's what it lets you do:
- Take control of your agents—with the power to instantly see all the agents on your server, you can spot problems right away and even prevent new issues from occurring
- Fix rogue agents with ease—many common problems can be solved with a click
- Tune your servers for optimum performance—only agentEZ gives you agent server load analysis tools for smarter scheduling and fewer performance bottlenecks
- Expand your administration capabilities—take advantage of mass-modification features that aren't available with the the standard Domino administration toolset
