Agents

Service Agents

Service Agents run the tasks in Ouvvi, they can run across multiple machines and networks providing they can reach and authenticate with this web application.

Setup the Agents to run your Projects, Steps and Triggers in the locations where you need them.

Each configured Agent is an individual Thread in the Agent Service so the more agents configured the more work is executed in parallel.

Dependencies allow you to control Ouvvi Steps so that they only execute on a specific group of Agents. For example running a Step that accesses On Premise resources behind the corporate firewall.

Adding a Service Agent

To add a service agent to Ouvvi go to Services > System Services and click on the 'Add Service Agent' button in the mini menu.

Then enter in a name for the agent (typically this is the machine name), service type (agent service or agent maintenance service), and the dependency name. Press Save to create the service agent.

Adding an Agent User
