the protocol operations described in this document. The core |

functionality has received a reasonable amount of exposure, and |

is believed to be more or less stable in normal use. It will |

also handle the non-graceful termination of subagents - returning |

A subagent will attempts to re-establish contact with a dead and |
11 |
resurrected master based on the agentxPingInterval setting. The default |
|
12 |
for this configuration variable is 15 seconds. It can be changed by |
|
13 |
putting the following line in your APPLICATION.conf file: |
|
14 |

agentxPingInterval 60 |
|

will make the subagent try to ping the master every 60 seconds, and if |
18 |
the connection is deemed broken it'll try and reconnect to the master |
|
19 |
agent after that point (once every 60 seconds). |
|
20 |
||
21 |
Similarly, a subagent will not be able to re-register in place of a |
|
22 |
defunct colleague until the master agent has received three requests |
|
23 |
for the dead connection (and hence unregistered it). |

Some of the less frequently used features (index allocation, |

range registration, etc), have received less thorough testing, |

when the '-x' flag is given (to specify a different master AgentX socket), |
|
38 |
or when the agent is invoked as an AgentX subagent (i.e. via the name |

'agentxd' or with the '-X' flag). |
