Change agents to point to new server IP

[lundrog]

I have built a new server with the new version, and I have changed the agent.properties file to point to the new server and restarted the agent service without luck.

Idea's?

On the agents, while they're running, do ./hq-agent.sh setup (or hq-agent.exe setup if on Winblows).

Thank You!

This works on XP and 2003 devices, but on the windows 2000 server, it looks like it is working, but doesn't show up in HQ.

Is it just slow?

[BradFelmey]

Shouldn't be. Appearance of the changes on the Dashboard should be darned near instantaneous.

On one of the systems that is not updating, is there anything in $HQ_HOME\logs\agent.log that would point in the right direction?

Hmmm, that's not pretty.

Perhaps one of the Hyperic Java Gods(TM) can comment.
